Speculation continues in Libya regarding real reasons for Kubis’ resignation as UNSMIL headBy Sami Zaptia. Tripoli, 26 November 2021:Speculation has continued in Libya regarding the real reasons for the resignation of UNSMIL head Jan Kubis from his post. It is necessary that the HoR promptly endorses the polling dates for both parliamentary and presidential elections proposed by the HNEC. The fragmentation of the political context, lack of an inclusive and consultative political and electoral process, ensuing lack of trust and consensus, and continued controversies on the electoral process could undermine the implementation of the electoral process. At the same time, pragmatic engagement is required to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process and minimize risks of polarization and confrontation.
