TRIPOLI, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General for Libya Stephanie Williams said she met with Libya's National Security Adviser Ibrahim Bushnaf on Monday to discuss the latest developments in the North African country.
"We stressed the importance of preserving momentum for the electoral process, pressing forward on national reconciliation & building consensus on a national vision for Libya's security," Williams tweeted.
Libya had been expecting a presidential election on Dec. 24, 2021, but the election has been postponed indefinitely over technical and legal issues, according to the country's High National Elections Commission.
The Commission announced a few days ago a proposal to postpone the presidential election to late January.
The Libyan House of Representatives has thus formed a committee to design a new roadmap to address the failure to hold the election on time and to determine the fate of the current interim government.
The election is part of a roadmap adopted by the UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum, with the aim to bring stability in Libya following years of political division and insecurity.
The Libyan parliamentary elections, originally planned to be held on the same day as the presidential poll, have also been postponed to this January. Enditem
