Saleh has to help hold an inclusive parliamentary session and not to try to impose prohibitive conditions on the new government. Those close to Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar assert that he is seriously considering running for presidential elections, and that in itself is an important achievement. Sarraj must give way to the new presidential council, which does not need to be approved by parliament to assume power. Social actors should move right away towards national reconciliation in preparation for presidential and parliamentary elections that should not exclude anyone. Obstructionist moves should not hinder the progress of the new authorities in Libya or delay the date of the elections, scheduled for December 24.
