The President of the Libyan Council of State, Mohamed Tekala, issued sharp statements regarding the performance of former UN envoy Abdullah Bathili.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

In remarks to Bathili television, Tekla sharply criticized him and accused him of failing to achieve the goals of his peace project in Libya.

Tekala stressed that Batelli did not present any specific program to achieve peace, and only provided a title, which makes him a failure in his opinion, noting that Battili criticized the meeting of the three presidencies in the Arab League because he clings to his opinion only.

Referring to the role of the five-member table in the peace process, Tekala explained that Batelli would have preferred direct negotiations through this table rather than agreeing on electoral laws, which reflects his strong bias towards his opinion without taking into account other opinions.

Regarding Bouznika’s laws, Tekala stressed that the Council of State will not object to these laws but will seek amendments to improve the situation within the council.

Tekala stressed that there are no blocs within the State Council officially, but only groups that coordinate among themselves, adding that since he assumed the presidency of the Council, he has only failed to achieve a quorum in one session, which was last February.

The head of the High Council of State, Mohamed Tekala, announced his intention to meet again in Cairo with Libyan leaders, to complete talks on the formation of a new Libyan government.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

The meeting will include the head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed al-Menfi, and the speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, under the auspices of the Arab League, and did not specify the date of the meeting, but expected “promising results on the road map.

Tekala explained during his television interview that a committee is expected to be formed to review electoral laws within two weeks, based on the agreement reached in Cairo, although he considered that “the adoption of the draft constitution, or consensus on laws, which were adopted in the Moroccan city of Bouznika, are the best options for holding elections.”

Tekala stressed that the House of Representatives’ announcement of its acceptance of the files of the candidates for the new government “is not a fact,” noting that the Speaker of the House “did not say it,” stressing the continuation of “their work for consensus.”

The League of Arab States seeks to resume the second round of the tripartite meeting, with the aim of activating the political solution and addressing the political division in Libya.

🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

The League of Arab States sent invitations to the President of the Libyan Presidential Council, Muhammad al-Manfi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Counselor Aguila Saleh, and the President of the Supreme Council of State, Muhammad Takala.

These efforts come within the framework of an initiative led by the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, who seeks to present a paper that includes all the concerns of the three Libyan parties, with the aim of agreeing on a clear mechanism for holding presidential and legislative elections as soon as possible.

Activating this agreement faces a major obstacle, which is the armed formations’ rejection of any settlement of the political process without involving them in future arrangements related to the election process, given their great influence in various Libyan cities.
