Libya has been caught up in differences over the presidential and parliamentary elections roadmap, Al-Khaleej Online reported on Friday. According to media reports, there are three scenarios for the elections: heading to presidential and parliamentary elections on the same law, putting off the elections after modifying the Constitution, or forming a government and merging the military and security institutions before the elections. On Wednesday, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General's Special Advisor on Libya Stephanie Williams said she had met with many presidential and parliamentary candidates. At the same time, presidential candidate Saif Al-Islam Al-Gaddafi announced on Thursday an initiative that includes carrying out parliamentary elections and delaying presidential elections. "Electing parliament first will lead the country to avoid war and division, as well as helping to sort the issues related to the presidential elections and modifying the laws," a statement issued by his lawyer indicated.
