Libyan writer and political analyst Ayoub Al-Ojali believes the moves by the House of Representatives and the High Council of State regarding the formation of the elections commission’s board and political positions are a reaction to the slow pace of the UN mission’s process.
Scope of the Proposed Amendment
In exclusive statements to “Al-Ain News,” Al-Ojali noted that what is currently being discussed is limited to adding three new names to the High National Elections Commission’s board, not a complete overhaul. This intersects with the issue of sovereign positions and several other pending files.
Conflict with the UN Roadmap
He explained that this approach is inconsistent with the UN roadmap, especially as nearly a month has passed since its launch without tangible progress.
Internal Complications Obstruct Consensus
He pointed out that the move could be a political gamble given the disputes within the High Council of State between Mohamed Takala and Khaled Al-Mishri over its presidency, in addition to disagreements among key political leaders, making a comprehensive agreement difficult to reach.
Goal of Securing a Role in Future Dialogue
Al-Ojali concluded by saying that through these actions, the House of Representatives and the High Council of State are seeking to secure their position at the forefront of the political scene and guarantee an active role for themselves in any future political dialogue sponsored by the United Nations.
