On Monday, the US Embassy in Libya welcomed the agreement reached during the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) to hold national elections on 24 December 2021.
In a statement, the Embassy said that holding elections will enable all Libyans to exercise their sovereign right to choose the country’s future leadership and direction.
It also applauded the sincere and ongoing efforts of the LPDF participants, as they seek consensus on how to improve governance and deliver services ahead of these elections.
For its part, the Head of the European Union’s Delegation to Libya, José Sabadell, stated on Tuesday that the agreement to hold elections in Libya is a clear path towards achieving a necessary change in the north African country.
On his Twitter account, Sabadell said: “Congratulations to the Libyan people on the progress of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF).” He added that the time has come for “everyone to put the interest of the country above their own and be ready to compromise to achieve the peace that the Libyans demand, and deserve.”
