Libya’s parliament is to meet on Monday to debate a new timeline for elections, an official said, after presidential polls set for this week were postponed. The House of Representatives had on Wednesday deemed the vote, meant to draw a line under years of conflict in the North African nation, “impossible” to hold on time. The official said the assembly may propose reshuffling or replacing the current unity government. The law was strongly opposed by factions in western Libya, where Haftar had waged a year-long battle to seize Tripoli. On Thursday, she met Saleh, and “welcomed his commitment for the continuation of the electoral process”, according to her Twitter feed.
