According to the acting emissary of the United Nations, Stéphanie Williams, the various Libyan parties gathered in Tunis, reached an agreement on the holding of the elections in December 2021.
“Participants in the Libyan political dialogue forum agreed on the organization of national elections on December 24, 2021,” she said, quoted by AFP agency.
These united delegates are responsible for agreeing on the organization of elections but also on a unified executive. However, it will be difficult for them to impose their legitimacy and have their decisions recognized in the face of elected leaders very reluctant to elections.
This is the first result of the current discussions in Tunis since last Monday between 75 delegates of all stripes chosen by the UN, to try to get Libya out of conflicts.
A few days ago, these delegates found an agreement in principle on a roadmap supposed to lead to “free, fair, inclusive and credible legislative elections” with stages allowing the Libyan institutions to be united, she said.
