Tripoli, The Assistant Secretary General and Coordinator of UN Support Mission in Libya Raisedon Zenenga has announced that the Libyan National Dialogue Forum ‘LPDF’ has failed to reach agreement on the constitutional basis for holding elections in Libya.
‘The key to breaking this deadlock is to return to the spirit of the Roadmap and reach a compromise that secures the political and practical feasibility of national elections on 24 December, he stressed.
‘The people of Libya will certainly feel let down as they still aspire to the opportunity to exercise their democratic rights in presidential and parliamentary elections on 24 December. This does not bode well for the credibility and relevance of the LPDF, Zenenga said at the closing meeting of the Forum on Friday.
‘As we conclude this session, I encourage you to continue to consult among yourselves to pursue a workable compromise and cement what unites you, he told the conferees.
The Secretary General concluded by saying ‘On our part, we will continue to work with you and the Proposals Bridging Committee to explore further efforts to build common ground based on the Legal Committee’s proposal as all of us acknowledge that this is the reference framework for a constitutional basis for elections on 24 December 2021. Proposals that do not make the elections feasible and possible to hold elections on 24 December will not be entertained.’
