Libyan rival officials meet for UN-led talks on elections

GENEVA, 29 June 2022, (TON): Two senior Libyan officials began two days of talks on constitutional arrangements for elections, the latest UN effort to bridge gaps between the country’s rivals.

Met at the UN headquarters in Geneva “Aguila Saleh, the influential speaker of the country’s east-based parliament, and Khaled Al-Meshri, head of the government’s Supreme Council of State, based in the west, in the capital of Tripoli.”

According to the United Nations, the talks will focus on a draft constitutional framework for elections after Libya’s rival factions failed to reach an agreement in their last round of talks in the Egyptian capital of Cairo.

The criteria for a presidential candidacy were a contentious point in the talks, according to Libyan media.
