On Thursday 23 November, the Libyan Parliament agreed with the United Nations (UN) Special Representative on the way forward to form a government and hold elections.
According to the speaker of the Libyan parliament, Aguila Saleh, who was quoted by RIA Novosti, the measures to form a new government in Libya will be taken by the end of December and the formation itself will take eight months.
"The deadline the new government will be given will be eight months. It will be small and its specific tasks are to work on completing the electoral process, so it will have eight months to conduct the elections," Saleh said, adding that there may be circumstances in which this timeframe can reasonably change. ..
Efforts by Tripoli and the UN to involve Libya's various rival factions in holding elections have been a major focus of diplomacy here for years, but little progress has been made toward a vote.
After the overthrow and assassination of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, armed conflicts between different factions continued in the country. Until the spring of 2021, Libya remained a dual power: in the east, there was a parliament elected by the people working with Marshal Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army, and in the west, in the capital Tripoli, there was a national consensus government formed with the support of the United Nations and the European Union.
In March 2021, Abdel Hamid Dbeibeh's Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU) was sworn in before members of the House of Representatives (parliament).
