Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, confirmed that the Council is in contact with the Supreme Council of State and that there is almost no agreement on the mechanism for forming the government.
Saleh added, in an interview with the Egyptian newspaper “Sada El Balad” website, that it was agreed in principle that whoever wants to take over the government would receive the recommendation of 20 members of the state and 10 members of the representatives.
Saleh said that the electoral process is ready with all its details and only needs to form a single government that will be accountable to the House of Representatives. Because it is not reasonable to hold elections in the presence of two governments, one in the East and the other in the West, stressing not to delay holding them until a new UN envoy is appointed, because waiting for him is a waste of time, according to his expression.
Saleh also expected that elections would be held before the end of this year, calling on the international community and Arab countries for assistance, especially after the intervention of the Arab League
Saleh pointed out that the obstacles that Libya faces are the interference of the international community, and the inability of the international envoys who came to Libya to provide anything to resolve the Libyan crisis, adding that if the matter is left to the Libyans and the implementation of the constitutional declaration and political agreement, things will move in a positive direction and quickly, according to Saying it.
Regarding the Cairo meeting held under the auspices of the Arab League with the President of the Presidential Council, Mohamed El Menfi, and the Head of State, Mohamed Tekala, Saleh explained that it gave impetus to the political process in Libya, even though the Arab League was late in this matter and had to have put its hand in the Libyan issue from the beginning. Stressing that the meeting of parties showed consensus on the necessity of forming a Libyan government to hold elections, he said.
Saleh also stressed that the Cairo meeting affirmed Libya’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and rejected any negative external interference in the Libyan political process based on the political agreement, forming a technical committee within a specific period of time to consider amendments to electoral laws, and the necessity of forming a unified government whose mission is to supervise the electoral process.
