United Nations, Jun 28 (PTI) India has said it is regrettable that there is still no agreement on the Constitutional basis for holding elections in Libya, saying that the priority right now is to ensure that elections are held at the earliest in a free, fair, inclusive, and credible manner. “It is also regrettable that there is still no agreement on the Constitutional basis for holding elections,” he said adding that India notes that the Speaker of the House of Representatives Aguila Saleh and President of the High Council of State Khaled Al-Mishri is scheduled to meet at the UN Office at Geneva on 28-29 June to discuss the draft constitutional framework for holding elections. In this regard, we once again reiterate the importance of holding the Presidential and Parliamentary elections at the earliest. It has been about half a year since the missed milestone for holding elections as decided by Libyans themselves. It is important for the Security Council and the international community to support the Libyan people as they prepare for the elections.
