The UN Envoy to Libya Jan Kubis conducted a visit Sunday to the High National Elections Commission (HNEC) HQ to follow up on the preparations for the upcoming elections.

Kubis met with the HNEC and discussed the political developments and means of cooperation between the UN mission and the HNEC with regard to the forthcoming presidential and Parliament elections.

For more than a year, Haftar battled to take over the capital Tripoli in the west, but his defeat last June set the stage for UN-backed peace talks, which led to an agreement between the Government of National Accord in Tripoli and the authorities supporting Haftar in the east to hold elections on December 24.
