The United Nations Support Mission in Libya has said that head of the mission Abdoulaye Bathily has told the Security Council in a recent briefing that he was seeking to involve all parties in his latest initiative aimed at holding the presidential and parliamentary elections this year. “As part of his comprehensive approach to elections in Libya, Bathily is engaging political party leaders, traditional leaders and notables, and women and youth group leaders from all regions of Libya in addition to the country’s top political and military leaders,” said the mission in a tweet on Wednesday. Meanwhile, head of Libya's provisional Government of National Unity (GNU) Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah reiterated that the solution to the country’s crisis comes through elections and the approval of a new constitution. He urged all sides to defend Libya’s unity and rejected plans to divide it.
