Tripoli, Libya – (African Boulevard News) – The Joint “6×6” committee, consisting of six members from the Libyan House of Representatives and six from the High Council of State, has signed a series of agreements regarding the drafting of a new election law in Libya. The election law is crucial to ensuring a peaceful and democratic transition of power in the country.
The drafting of the new election law comes after years of political instability and conflict in Libya. The country has been divided into two rival governments since the overthrow of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The Joint “6×6” committee was established in 2019 to help bridge the political divide and find a path towards free and fair elections.
“We succeeded in signing agreements on the legislative and presidential laws with the agreement of all the members of the commission and we hope that this step will be beneficial for the stability of the country,” said Saleh Al-Makhzoum, a member of the Joint “6×6” committee.
The agreements cover various aspects of the election law, including the electoral system, voter registration, and the role of election observers. The committee also agreed on the establishment of an electoral commission to oversee the election process.
According to experts, the signing of the agreements is a positive step towards holding free and fair elections in Libya. “This is a significant step towards a peaceful and democratic transition of power in Libya,” said Dr. Ahmed Nagi, a political analyst. “The election law is crucial to ensuring that the voice of the Libyan people is heard and that the country can move forward towards a more stable and prosperous future.”
However, there are still challenges ahead in the implementation of the election law. The country remains deeply divided, and there are concerns about the security situation in certain parts of the country. The international community has also been critical of the slow progress in implementing the agreements reached in the UN-brokered peace talks in 2015.
Despite these challenges, the signing of the agreements by the Joint “6×6” committee is a positive development in Libya’s political landscape. The country has been through years of conflict and instability, and the new election law offers a glimmer of hope for a more peaceful and democratic future.
In conclusion, the signing of the agreements by the Joint “6×6” committee on the drafting of a new election law in Libya is a significant step towards a peaceful and democratic transition of power in the country. The agreements cover various aspects of the election law, and the establishment of an electoral commission is a positive step towards holding free and fair elections. The international community will be closely watching the implementation of the election law, and there are still challenges ahead. However, the signing of the agreements is a glimmer of hope for a more stable and prosperous future for Libya.
