It seems that the international pressure to complete the December elections, both parliamentary and presidential, seemed clearer than ever. Despite the many proposals and visions that were circulating regarding the Parliamentary Elections Law, one of the female MPs revealed to Arraed the intervention of the international community to adopt the Parliamentary Elections Law
We were surprised by the vote
In a statement by a member of the House of Representatives to Arraed – who preferred not to be named – stressed that there is international pressure that hastened the adoption of the law, with citing that they were taking from 3 to 4 sessions to vote on any law, but they were surprised to put this law to a vote.
international pressure
The source added that the UN envoy to Libya, Jan Kubis, had met with Libyan leaders a few days before the law was issued, as he assured them that the election date must be realised.
Fear of confusion
As for the reason for not amending paragraphs in the previous law of 2014, the source revealed the existence of a proposal by the Commission to adopt the list system and increase the number of districts from 13 to 32 in the new law, but this would have confused the scene and delayed the issuance of the decision, so they kept the districts as they are according to him, indicating that if they open the law to amendment, there will be no elections on December 24, and the law will not be closed and it will take 10 sessions
Commission receives the law
The High Electoral Commission announced on October 11 that it had officially received the next Parliament election law issued by the House of Representatives on October 2, which includes 46 articles containing preliminary provisions for the formation of the new Parliament as well as conditions for candidacy and voting procedures.
