During the visit to Cairo on Wednesday, the United Nations Special Representative for Libya, Hanna Tetteh, reiterated the urgent need to revive the political process that includes all segments of the Libyan society.
The renewed UN appeal comes amid the protracted institutional deadlock, driven by ongoing internal divisions.
According to the Libyan News Agency, Tetteh met with several Libyan political figures as part of an expanded round of consultations following the release of a report by the UN’s advisory committee on Tuesday.
The report outlines five potential scenarios for resolving the crisis.
These include holding simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections, organising parliamentary elections followed by the adoption of a new constitution and establishing a political body tasked with drafting an electoral and constitutional framework.
Tetteh described the report as “a starting point for an inclusive national dialogue,” urging political stakeholders to break the stalemate that has persisted since 2021 — a deadlock that has exacerbated Libya’s economic and security challenges.
Similar consultations are currently underway in several regions across the country, in a bid to reach consensus on the next steps of the institutional process.
