Libya's Parliament Approves Deal Paving Way for Elections
Agreement reached by 4+4 Committee addresses election commission restructuring and disputed electoral issues, according to Anadolu Agency.
Libya's parliament has approved an agreement intended to pave the way for long-delayed presidential and parliamentary elections, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The deal was reached through the so-called 4+4 Committee, a body tasked with resolving outstanding disputes related to the country's electoral process, the report said.
According to Anadolu Agency, the agreement includes provisions for restructuring Libya's election commission, the body responsible for organizing and overseeing the national vote.
The deal also addresses previously disputed electoral issues that have contributed to repeated delays in holding elections in the country, the report added.
Libya has faced years of political division and postponed elections since the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. Previous attempts to hold a national vote, including a planned poll in December 2021, were called off amid disagreements among rival political factions.
Further details on the specific terms of the 4+4 Committee agreement, including a timeline for elections, were not immediately available in the report.
