TRIPOLI, Libya , (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 31st Jul, 2023 ) :A new Libya can only be built through an electoral process and the country's future should not depend on the House of Representatives and High Council of State, the UN envoy for Libya said Sunday. He said the country's future should not depend on the House of Representatives and the High Council of State but on the aspirations of the people. Calling on international and regional partners to support the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in its duty to establish stability and peace in Libya, Bathily noted that "the only way to build a new Libya is for elections to take place that will determine the members of parliament and the head of state." Last month, the 6+6 Joint Committee, formed by Libya's parliament and the High Council, announced an agreement on laws for holding the polls. Some members of the two chambers, however, announced their opposition to the outcomes of the committee.
