Controversial points regarding electoral laws are still outstanding between the House of Representatives and the Supreme Council of the State, which formed a 6 + 6 committee to prepare and draft laws to resolve them. However, some doubt their ability to reach an agreement on them after their previous failures in establishing an agreed constitutional rule that leads the country to elections.

Among the controversial points that have not yet been resolved between the two chambers in their negotiations on electoral laws is the issue of the candidacy of the military and dual nationals, despite the fact that the House of Representatives published laws related to the election of the president and the House of Representatives in the Official Gazette, which observers see as striking the 6 + 6 committee in killing And raises many questions about the legality of any move by the committee in the constitutional file.

political maneuvers

And while it seems that the complexities and maneuvers of the political scene around the electoral process did not stop at this only, Member of Parliament Abdel Moneim Al-Arfi told Panorama earlier that the publication of the conditions for candidacy for the presidency of the state stipulated in Law No. (1) 2021 regarding the election of the head of state published in the Official Gazette It ends the dispute over the issue of the candidacy of dual nationals by not allowing their candidacy for the presidency of the state, while the issue of the military candidacy remains unresolved, pending a decision by the 6 + 6 committee.

While Parliament member Issam al-Juhani attributed to Panorama the maneuvers of several political parties to the lack of seriousness of the current bodies in ending the transitional stages and holding the elections that will remove them from the scene, saying, “Everyone is looking for an answer on how to come up with new bodies to replace the current bodies and governments.”

Al-Jahani added that it is impossible for all these parties, including the House of Representatives and the Supreme Council of State, to leave their positions in light of their alliance with military forces in the east and west of the country.

On the other hand, a member of the High Council of State, Ibrahim Bushala, told Panorama that the House of Representatives and the State Council must exert popular pressure on them to find a solution and move the country towards elections, calling for not allowing them to extend themselves to prolong the transitional stages.

prospective international alternatives

And at a time when many rule out the success of the 6 + 6 committee representing the House of Representatives and the state in agreeing to resolve the controversial points on the constitutional basis for the same reasons that thwarted several previous negotiations, most notably Haftar’s pressure on the Speaker of the House of Representatives not to agree to any condition that prevents dual nationals and soldiers from running for the presidency. Solutions to get out of the political deadlock remain subject to the alternatives of the UN envoy, Abdullah Batili, to which he will resort to setting a constitutional basis and adopting laws for the upcoming elections this year.
