Less than 48 hours before D-day, a parliamentary committee in charge of monitoring the election concluded that it was “impossible” to hold it on the scheduled date, which had been set more than a year ago. The Dec. 24 election was supposed to mark the culmination of a U.N.-sponsored political process to close this chapter of division and instability. The Libyan High Electoral Commission (HNEC) has taken up the report and proposed to postpone the election by one month to January 24, 2022. The Parliament will take the necessary measures to remove the obstacles to the electoral process,” it announced in a statement.
