The Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, called on Thursday on the Head of the High Council of State (HCS) Khalid Al-Mishri, and Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Aqila Saleh to "release Libyans" by approving a constitutional basis for elections. "The Government of National Unity (GNU) and its continuity is the only guarantor to pressure parties to go to elections because otherwise, they would continue to extend for themselves. We deny the rumors of government and administrative division as all state institutions and municipalities are working under the GNU. Meanwhile, the Deputy Prime Minister, Huseein Al-Gotrani, said the Government of National Unity is under pressure and hoped that Libya wouldn’t be dragged into bloodshed. Al-Gotrani reiterated that the GNU has never had the intention to plunge Libya into fighting, but rather it has always pushed for holding elections.
