Upcoming Agreement to Revive the Electoral Process

The 4+4 Joint Committee is preparing to adopt a new electoral agreement aimed at reviving the electoral process in Libya, as its final meeting, scheduled for next Tuesday, approaches. This is part of efforts sponsored by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya to overcome the political deadlock that has persisted since the December 2021 elections stalled.

On Saturday, committee member Abduljalil al-Shawish told Alwasat that the drafting committee is currently working on preparing the final version of the agreement, paving the way for its adoption during the upcoming meeting that will finalize the document’s wording.
