The High National Elections Commission (HNEC) in Libya hosted a key meeting on Sunday at its headquarters in Tripoli with the Minister of Finance, Khalid Al-Mabrouk. The discussions focused on advancing preparations for the second round of municipal council elections, set to take place in January 2025.
HNEC Chairperson Emad Al-Sayeh led the meeting, which emphasised coordination between the commission and the Ministry of Finance. Both parties explored avenues for ensuring the success of the electoral process, highlighting the importance of financial and logistical readiness.
Minister Al-Mabrouk praised the HNEC’s role in organising and implementing election milestones, affirming the government’s commitment to supporting the commission. He pledged continued financial and logistical backing to ensure the smooth execution of upcoming electoral events.
This meeting underscores Libya’s focus on fostering transparent and efficient electoral practices as part of broader national efforts to strengthen democratic governance. The municipal council elections represent a critical step in empowering local governance and promoting civic participation.
As the January 2025 timeline approaches, the HNEC and its partners face the challenge of addressing logistical complexities while maintaining voter confidence. The government’s financial support is expected to play a pivotal role in achieving these goals.
