Dabaiba: Addressing electoral laws is a priority for the roadmap outlined by the UN envoy

Pulbished on:

Tripoli, August 22, 2025 (LANA) – The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, stated that the UN envoy's briefing to the Security Council emphasized that electoral laws are the obstacle that has obstructed the electoral process since 2021. This makes addressing this issue a key priority for the roadmap, the initial outlines of which were announced today. This is something we welcome and support.

Dabaiba stated in a post on his Facebook page that any roadmap that advances elections and unifies all institutions without exception represents a step in the right direction. However, the real challenge remains the awareness and free will of Libyans, which we are working to translate into practical implementation through a comprehensive national inquiry that ensures the voice of all Libyans is present in this election and identifies the steps and priorities that will lead to genuine elections that express their will and fulfill their aspirations.

He stated that our position is firm: to go directly to elections based on enforceable laws, as this is the only solution to end the political division and realize the will of the Libyans. The agreement to end parallel bodies, in accordance with the terms of reference of the Political Agreement and its annexes, is welcome and supports the process of unification, but it should not be a pretext for delaying the elections or obstructing the will of the people.

He added, "Our people have proven, through the high turnout in the recent municipal elections, that they are eager to renew their legitimacy, despite the existence of these parallel institutions, and will not accept the continuation of the cycle of transitional phases. Libyans look to the Security Council to support the electoral process and hold those obstructing it accountable."
