Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah said that “the security environment is not an obstacle to holding elections,” adding that “the real challenge lies in the absence of consensual and fair electoral laws.”
Dbeibah said during his attendance at the second forum for officers of the Security Directorate Support Department in various regions that “Libya is moving forward in building professional security institutions capable of protecting the state and its citizens.”
Dbeibah commended the efforts of the department’s members in strengthening security and stability, reaffirming “the government’s commitment to supporting the security institution and working to develop its capabilities to ensure it performs its duties effectively and efficiently,” according to a statement published by the Prime Minister’s media office on Facebook.
During the event, Dbeibah promoted several officers “in recognition of their dedication in fulfilling their national duty,” stressing “the readiness of the police force, its increasing discipline, and its continuous improvement in performance.”
He also pointed out that “the success of the Ministry of Interior’s agencies in securing municipal elections in 58 municipalities is concrete evidence of the state’s ability to carry out any electoral process, including parliamentary and presidential elections.”
