The Prime Minister-designate, Ramadan Abujanah, has vowed that the Government of National Unity (GNU) will hand over power after December 24 elections, saying Libyans should preserve the achieved stability by voting.
Abujanah added, in a joint press conference in Tripoli on Sunday with a number of GNU ministers, that the GNU supports holding elections on time, saying the judiciary has had its say regarding election appeals.
Meanwhile, the Interior Minister, Khalid Mazen, said all things are being done as planned regarding preparing for elections on December 24 and that all security measures are now in place. He called on all parties to commit to the election process regulations.
The Minister of Justice, Halima Abdulrahman, said the first phase of election process succeeded, saying the GNU "is ready to deliver the December 24 vote" which, if successful, would be "a turning point in Libya's history and future."
She hailed the Libyan judiciary and its integrity and transparency in tackling the electoral process and candidates' appeals.
The Deputy Minister of Health said there will be an election operations room at the Ministry of Health, asking Libyans to abide by precautionary measures against the spread of Coronavirus, and saying that readiness alert to be announced at all medical facilities across Libya 24 hours before the start of voting.
It's still uncertain whether or not presidential elections will take place on time, especially after the implied rejection of some candidates by several members of the House of Representatives, delayed announcement of the final candidates' list and the statement of the High National Elections Commission on Saturday that said it would take legal and judicial measures before publishing the final list of candidates.
