(@ChaudhryMAli88)Tripoli, Dec 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 9th Dec, 2021 ) :Libya's upper house on Wednesday proposed delaying December presidential elections by two months, the latest dispute over the vote intended to help end 10 years of violence. The High Council of State, which is equivalent to a senate, suggested the presidential vote could take place in February to avoid further threatening the country's political transition. "Pushing forward with presidential elections without any formal constitutional or legal rules, amid tension, mistrust among (Libyan) actors and foreign interference, could destroy the entire political process," it said in a statement. The Council, based in the western city of Tripoli, has been in disagreement over electoral laws with a rival body, the House of Representatives based in the eastern city of Tobruk. A new transitional government, based in Tripoli, took office in March with a mandate to lead the country to the December elections.
