Titié announces she will meet with members of the 4+4 Committee this month to discuss next steps.

New York, October 14, 2026 (LANA) – UN Special Representative Hanna Tetteh announced that she would meet with members of the "4+4" committee this month to advance toward a broadly representative national mechanism, in consultation with the Security Council and in accordance with Article 5 of the agreement. In her periodic briefing to the UN Security Council on the situation in Libya this Wednesday, she stated that the Government of National Unity, the General Command, the House of Representatives, and Presidential Council member Moussa Al-Koni had welcomed the "4+4" agreement. This reflects the Libyan parties' understanding of the solution and their conviction regarding the importance of moving toward holding elections. Tetteh emphasized that the agreement establishes an actionable path under a unified legislative and executive authority, noting that this "mini-dialogue" is not the only mechanism the UN mission will rely on to advance the roadmap. She highlighted the mission's intention to work with relevant Libyan parties in the coming phase on other priorities—such as creating an environment conducive to holding elections and unifying institutions—while stressing the importance of international and regional support as a prerequisite for political progress in Libya.

She also expressed her anticipation of working with the new House of Representatives leadership, headed by Al-Salihin Abdul-Nabi, to bolster the next steps of the political roadmap and implement the "4+4" agreement.

The UN envoy noted that the High Council of State had rejected the "4+4" agreement on the grounds that it bypassed national legal frameworks, a stance reflecting a lack of willingness among some of its members to engage constructively in the political process. She added that some members of the High Council of State had requested additional time from the UN mission to consult and move forward with the political process, particularly regarding the agreement reached by the "4+4" small committee.

Tetteh continued by stating that Libya cannot afford to allow spoilers to further obstruct the political process, noting that she would outline her next steps in her upcoming briefing.

She also indicated the mission's intention to work with relevant Libyan stakeholders in the coming phase on other priorities aimed at creating an environment conducive to holding elections and unifying institutions.

This will be addressed in our meeting later this month, including an examination of the option to proceed with a broad-based national representation mechanism—as stipulated in Article 5 of the agreement—in consultation with this Council.
