The head of Libya’s Presidential Council, Mohamed Al Mnifi, met on Wednesday in Tripoli with Hanna Serwaa Tetteh, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya.
The meeting came amid continued concerns over recent armed clashes in the capital and the fragile state of the ceasefire.
According to a statement from the Presidential Council, both sides agreed on the urgent need to uphold the declared ceasefire in Tripoli and prevent a relapse into violence.
They highlighted the importance of reinforcing security arrangements led by the Presidential Council in coordination with local actors and international partners.
The talks also addressed the broader political deadlock that has stalled Libya’s transition process. Al Mnifi and Tetteh discussed several proposed pathways to overcome the impasse, taking into account the latest suggestions from the advisory committee tasked with supporting national dialogue.
The discussions focused on how to shape a unified political vision that would lead to credible presidential and parliamentary elections. Both parties stressed that elections must be based on a clear constitutional and legal foundation, ensuring transparency, national legitimacy, and broad public participation.
The UN mission continues to push for renewed cooperation among Libyan institutions to restart the political process and avoid further fragmentation. The Presidential Council reiterated its commitment to playing a central role in managing the security environment and creating the necessary conditions for progress on the political track.
