The Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah stressed on Wednesday the necessity of reactivating the role of the Constitution Drafting Assembly, considering that completing the constitutional entitlement is the basis for Libya's stability and political future.
This came during Dabaiba's meeting with an unspecified number of members of the Constitution Drafting Assembly, where he denounced what he described as a "conspiracy to disrupt the referendum on the constitution" without clarifying the manifestations of this conspiracy or who is behind it, indicating that the obstruction represents targeting the will of the Libyan people.
"The people elected the members of the assembly directly and for a clear and specific purpose, which is to draft a constitution that expresses the aspirations of all Libyans," Dbeibah said, adding that any attempts to obstruct this path are a direct obstruction of the Libyan people's march toward building a state of law and institutions, and stressing the government's commitment to supporting the efforts of the assembly and assisting it in achieving what he described as "the important national goal."
Dbeibah insisted on the need to hold a referendum on the current draft constitution prepared by the assembly and issue fair laws to hold elections, while the House of Representatives demands the formation of a new unified government before going to the elections, as the assembly supports the Prime Minister's point of view and insists on holding a referendum on the draft constitution.
The Communications Committee assigned by the assembly to draft the constitution decided in mid-November to resort to the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights to prosecute those it described as the "de facto authorities" in Libya, accusing them of preventing a referendum on the draft constitution devised on July 29, 2017.
