The UN Advisor on Libya met with the House of Representatives’ Speaker Aqila Saleh in Al-Qobba on Monday and discussed in detail my initiative to form a joint committee consisting of select members of the HoR and High Council of State (HCS) to create the constitutional basis required to ensure that elections take place as soon as possible.
Williams added on Twitter that they had agreed that holding elections in a timely manner with a sound constitutional basis constitutes the best way forward, and reflects the genuine aspirations of the Libyan people, particularly the 2.8 million who registered to vote.
“I reiterated my call for calm, as well as highlighted the importance of cooperation between Libyan institutions for the sake of lasting stability. I look forward to receiving the nominations from the two Chambers within the coming days.” Williams added.
Meanwhile, the media office of the HoR Speaker said he confirmed to Williams his rejection to intervention in the HoR decisions no matter who the intervening side is, adding that the HoR latest decisions on the 12th constitutional amendment and appointing a new government were legal and based on consensus with the HCS via their roadmap committees.
