Libya’s House of Representatives approved on Tuesday a proposed roadmap from the speakers of the House and the High State Council on holding elections and forming a new government. House Speaker Aguila Saleh announced that the chamber voted by absolute majority to adopt the roadmap with some amendments and remarks suggested by lawmakers. He stressed the House of Representatives has the sole authority to grant confidence to any new government formed, based on its program and working methods. The roadmap adopted by the House of Representatives today includes a detailed timeline specifying necessary steps and procedures to hold presidential and parliamentary elections on scheduled dates. The High State Council previously approved the same roadmap in late June, in a move aimed at expediting elections as soon as possible to end the transitional period.
