Libya’s rival political factions signed an agreement to hold legislative and presidential elections within two years under a single executive authority and unified national institutions. The deal addresses disputes over electoral laws and restructures the High National Elections Commission, naming Dhaou Ibrahim Attia as chairman and Sana al-Lishani as deputy. Reached through the 4+4 format, it gives the House of Representatives and High Council of State one month to approve the agreement, while requiring the group to develop an implementation framework with UNSMIL within the same period. If lawmakers reject the deal, the parties will seek to adopt it as a constitutional document through broad national mechanisms and obtain backing through the U.N. Security Council. Libya’s election process has been stalled since a December 2021 vote collapsed over disputes about the main candidates’ eligibility.
