The most contentious issue was the criteria for presidential candidacy, with the Tripoli-based council demanding that military men not be allowed to run. The talks started on June 12 with the goal of setting up a constitutional framework for elections in Libya. The Tripoli-based council asked that military people not be allowed to run for the highest office in the country. This election was cancelled for a variety of reasons, including controverted candidates and conflicts over election laws. During the negotiations in Cairo, the eastern legislators demanded that military men be allowed to run in the forthcoming election.
