    Libyan House of Representatives proposes to postpone elections for six months. 

The Libyan House of Representatives proposed, on Monday evening, the necessity of postponing the presidential elections for a period of six months and launching an expanded dialogue between the various parties in the country.

This came during a session held by Parliament in the city of Tobruk, during which it discussed the elections that were supposed to take place on December 24.

In his speech during the session, which was suspended to be reconvened later today, Tuesday, Parliament Speaker-designate Fawzi Al-Nuwairi presented several proposals from the deputies regarding the elections. 

The proposals included the necessity of postponing the elections for a period of six months and conducting an extended dialogue between the various Libyan parties, according to Al-Nuwairi.

It also included addressing the Electoral Commission to direct an explanatory letter to the House of Representatives on its statement issued on December 22 regarding the impossibility of holding the elections and proposing to postpone them to January 24.

In addition to responding to the Commission's requests, it is proposed to move forward with the election process and form a committee to address the issues mentioned by the Commission in its most recent announcement.

The Libyan Electoral Commission announced on December 22 that the presidential election would be postponed to January 24.

The Commission attributed the reason for the delay to the inadequacy of electoral legislation with regard to the judiciary's role in electoral appeals and disputes, which "negatively affected the commission's right to defend its decisions."

"The existing overlap between political facts and judicial rulings pushed the decision to announce the final list of candidates to what is known as the force majeure situation," it added.
