The UN chief’s special adviser on Libya called on both its interim prime minister and his parliament-designated successor to maintain stability and said elections should be held as soon as possible.
Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, prime minister of the UN-recognised Government of National Unity says he will hand over power only after an election, and rejected parliament’s move last Thursday to appoint former interior minister Fathi Bashagha to head a new government.
UN adviser Stephanie Williams held separate meetings with Dbeibah and Bashagha on Sunday.
She says the UN remains committed to raising the voices of the 2.8 million Libyans who registered to vote.
