Particular emphasis was placed on the ongoing preparations for the second round of municipal council elections in 2025, which includes several municipalities across Libya.”
The discussions also highlighted “the role played by the United Nations in providing technical and advisory support to the Commission, including assistance in managing electoral processes, training staff, and ensuring a safe electoral environment that encourages the participation of all groups, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities.”
