The process to hold long-awaited elections in Libya is raising concerns that the country can fall back into a violent conflict
presidential and parliamentary elections on December 24 have become a thing of the past as the commission has not yet officially announced the final candidate list.
Sami Hamdi, Managing Director of The International Interest, a global risk and intelligence company, tells TRT World that the matter of delaying elections has become one of 'when'; not 'if'. The recent move by militias came after the meeting between the Libyan Army’s Chief of Staff, Muhammad Al-Haddad, and commander of Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army, Abdel Razel Al-Nadori last Saturday.
“Haftar does not need to 'spoil' these elections. He believes that the militias of Tripoli will do that for him instead,” he added.
