The United Nations envoy to Libya held talks on Sunday with all relevant actors to press for long-awaited elections. Abdoulaye Bathily first met with the chairman of Libya’s High National Election Commission (HNEC), Emad al-Sayeh. Al-Sayeh also provided updates on preparations for the municipal elections, set to take place early next year. Later, Bathily met with the leader of the Libyan Supreme Council of State, Mohamed Takala. “We agreed on the need to complete the legal framework for elections, taking into account the observations made by the main parties to make the electoral laws enforceable,” he said.
