A Libyan parliamentary committee said Wednesday it will be impossible to hold a presidential election on Friday. The committee chairman gave his assessment in a letter to the head of the parliament, saying it came after consulting technical, judicial and security reports. The chairman did not specify a new date for the election to take place. Libya’s election commission suggested a short time later the election be postponed until January 24. Numerous disputes about the process had raised expectations that the long-awaited vote would be delayed.
