Al-Sayeh, UN discuss election readiness
The Chairman of the High National Elections Commission (HNEC), Dr Emad Al-Sayeh, met on Monday with Ms Stephanie Koury, Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya, to review ongoing preparations for the second round of municipal council elections scheduled for 2025.
The meeting focused on the Commission’s technical and logistical readiness, particularly as the voter card distribution phase nears completion. With this key stage concluding, HNEC is now transitioning into the vote-preparation phase for the targeted municipalities.
Dr Al-Sayeh provided an update on the Commission’s operational plan and reaffirmed HNEC’s commitment to conducting the elections in a transparent, impartial, and well-organised manner.
He stressed that the Commission is working according to a clear timeline developed in close coordination with relevant national bodies and international partners.
The discussions also addressed political and technical challenges affecting the electoral process, especially those linked to activating international support mechanisms facilitated through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Both sides emphasised the importance of ensuring a stable and coherent environment to implement the electoral roadmap effectively.
Established in 2012, the High National Elections Commission is an independent national institution mandated by Libyan law to organise and oversee all electoral processes, including presidential, parliamentary, and municipal elections.
HNEC plays a central role in safeguarding electoral integrity and works to foster voter participation and electoral awareness in partnership with local and international stakeholders.
Ms Koury reiterated the United Nations’ full support for the Commission, noting the UN’s ongoing role in providing technical and advisory assistance to ensure the success and credibility of Libya’s electoral processes.
The meeting reflects the continued collaboration between Libyan institutions and international partners in supporting a peaceful and democratic transition through inclusive and well-managed elections.
