The United Nations and the United States on Monday urged all Libyan stakeholders to focus on holding the presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible.
“Growing polarization among political actors and disputes over key aspects of the electoral process ultimately resulted in the postponement of the 24 December elections, despite the advanced stage of technical preparations by the High National Commission for Elections (HNEC),” said Rosemary DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, during a security briefing on the situation in Libya.
