Statement regarding the constitutional basis for the elections of December 24, 2021
In light of the UN announcement of the date for the Libyan presidential and parliamentary elections on December 24, 2021, and to prevent any delays or additional strife that continue to deprive the Libyan people of exercising their inherent and legitimate right to choose their leaders and renew the legitimacy in their country, we affirm that the search for a “constitutional base” for those elections The decision to be held is an already settled matter that does not need to open a new debate because there is a constitutional basis ready for those elections (which is Resolution No. 5 of 2014, and the Constitutional Declaration with its amendments that include the decisions of the February Committee). From the legitimate legislative body, it is invalidated, and the constitutional declaration was sufficient to hold the Libyan elections twice before, in 2012 and 2014, in addition to the February Committee resolving all issues of separation of powers and specifying the powers of each.
All that we have mentioned about further delays informs us of artificially created problems with the “constitutional rule”.
May God protect Libya, a free, proud, sovereign, united, independent and prosperous state, God Almighty willing.
The Libyan National Movement, the Ihya Libya Party, the Civil Democratic Bloc, and the Center Youth Movement
