President of Presidency Council: Elections Shortest Way to Peace and Stability.

Tripoli, 2 November 2020(Lana) President of Presidency Council Fayez Al Serraj paid tribute to 'all those who confronted and defeated the aggression on the capital Tripoli', valuing the role of those who joined the Burkan Al Ghadab operation and those who lost their lives in defense of the capital. Al Serraj was speaking on return from a foreign tour which took him to Turkey and Italy. I still believe that elections are the shortest way to end the crisis in Libya and to create lasting peace and stability in the country. 'In submission to calls by many Libyan parties who were of the idea to introduce a new transitional period, I thought it was proper, if indispensable to enter in this stage and to fast track it without delay, Al Serraj said in press statement on his arrival according to the Presidency Communication Office. Earlier in October, Al Serraj said he would step down by end on the month, and to hand over to an executive authority, urging Libyan antagonists to work towards creating a new executive council. The ultimatum has passed without anything being done because the Libyan parties did not meet to accomplish this entitlement, so my colleagues and I thought that we have to shoulder our responsibilities to protect the security and sovereignty of the country and its political decision, based on the provisions of the Political Agreement and the two ad hoc letters issued by the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, Al Serraj said. Al Serraj offered his best wishes to members of the Libyan people on the birthday of the Prophet Mohamed 'Peace Be Upon Him', saying the occasion should serve as inspiration especially at these difficult times in which our country is passing. =Lana=
