Libya to resume local elections in October
Libya’s elections body said it will resume municipal polls on Oct. 20, covering dozens of local councils in towns across the country.
The High National Elections Commission (HNEC) said the vote will take place in areas where councils’ terms have ended or where temporary committees are in charge.
The move to hold local polls came amid a prolonged stalemate in national politics.
HNEC said the presidential and parliamentary elections planned for December 2021 collapsed due to disputes over electoral laws and the eligibility of key candidates.
