Libya to open registration for presidential and legislative polls

Spread the news

Candidates for Libya’s presidential and legislative elections slated for December 24 can start registering from Monday, the electoral commission said.

“This is the real start of the electoral process,” aimed at turning the page on a decade of violence in the North African country, the head of the commission addressed on Sunday. 

“Candidate registration for the presidential election will be open from November 8 to 22, and from November 8 to December 7 for the legislative polls,” he added. Foreign powers have been pushing hard for elections to be both held as scheduled on the same day, December 24, a date agreed at UN-led talks last year.
