Members of the Libyan 6+6 Joint Committee for Preparing Electoral Laws announced that they had reached an agreement on presidential and legislative electoral laws. However, this has to be signed by the speakers of the House of Representatives (HoR) and the High Council of State (HCS).

In a press conference in Bouznika in Morocco, the head of HoR delegation at the Committee, Jalal Al-Shuwaidi, explained that they had completed the laws of the presidential elections and the National Assembly in its two chambers.  Now, they are awaiting the approval of HoR and HCS Speakers, Aqila Saleh and Khaled Al-Mishri, for the final decision on these laws.

Al-Shuwaidi confirmed that the Committee was not subjected to pressure or interference from Morocco or from abroad. He expressed his gratitude to the Kingdom of Morocco for hosting the committee’s meetings over the past ten days, and his appreciation for its efforts in support of Libya. The head of HCS delegation at the Committee, Omar Boulifa, indicated that the laws agreed upon by the committee allowed everyone to run, and did not exclude anyone from participating in the elections.

Boulifa stated that all points of contention were finalized and agreed upon including the law for the elections of the National Assembly and the President of the State.
