Fathallah al-Sariri, a member of the Libyan High Council of State, told Anadolu that “the 6+6 committee will discuss the electoral laws for the legislative and presidential elections scheduled for the year 2023”
Fathallah al-Sariri, a member of the “6+6” joint committee responsible for preparing electoral laws in Libya, confirmed that the committee will hold meetings in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, starting tomorrow, Monday.
Al-Sariri, a member of the Libyan High Council of State, told Anadolu that “the meetings of the committee, which includes members of the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, will begin in Rabat, starting tomorrow, Monday”.
He explained that the committee “will discuss in its meetings in Morocco the electoral laws (legislative and presidential) which will be drawn up and formulated in view of the elections scheduled for the current year.”
The “6 + 6” Committee, composed of six members of the Libyan House of Representatives and six other members of the High Council of State, is leading discussions with a view to the adoption of consensual electoral laws.
Since its formation last March, the joint committee has held two meetings in Tripoli, the first on April 5 and the second on May 7.
Morocco had previously hosted 5 rounds of dialogue between the parties to the conflict in Libya, which culminated in January 2021 with the conclusion of an agreement on the positions of sovereignty, in addition to a meeting between the delegations of the High Council of State and the House of Representatives devoted to electoral law during the month of September 2021.
A dialogue between the two Libyan camps aimed at organizing elections in 2023 has been launched under the aegis of the United Nations, in order to put an end to the political crisis caused by an opposition between a government mandated by the House of Representatives (is) at the beginning 2022 and a government of national unity, chaired by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, which refuses to cede power except to a government from a newly elected parliament.
