Elections in Libya

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Elections in Libya.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“We were expecting that the elections weren't going to happen on December 24, but now setting a new date will also be a contentious issue. From a legal standpoint, the parliament must agree with the High Council of State on a new date. The question now is how long will the postponement be for? And will they come to an agreement on a constitutional framework?”

“This is the first official sign [the High National Electoral Commission's document] that the elections are not going to be going through. The head of the electoral commission has ordered for the electoral committees and the administrative offices to go back to their positions before the elections as if the elections aren't going to happen. Basically what this means is that he's told the temporary workers and the administrators in the polling stations to stop their work, to put away all the election equipment.”

“They definitely seem [to be] moving forward a plan to get the elections to happen as scheduled. But there are other questions that remain unanswered, such as the legislative bodies - one of which is based in eastern Libya, and the other in western Libya. They're supposed to agree on a constitutional framework for these elections to happen, that includes who can run for president, what kind of powers does a president have.”

“The stability initiative aimed to put stability first and so postpone the elections on the grounds that Libya is not ready for them. We have to go ahead with the elections cognisant of the consequences of not holding them for the whole region.”

“Not holding the elections could gravely deteriorate the situation in the country, could lead to division and conflict. I urge the Libyan actors to join forces and ensure inclusive, free, fair parliamentary and presidential elections, which are to be seen as the essential step in further stabilizing and uniting Libya.”
