The Head of the High Council of State, (HCS) Mohamed Takala - who is still in a dispute for the HCS presidency with Kahlid Al-Mishri pending judicial review - discussed with the Minister of State for Communication and Political Affairs in the Government of National Unity, Walid Ellafi, mechanisms for employing modern technologies to survey the opinions of the Libyan people on national issues and political options in order to achieve the success of the upcoming polls and referendums," according to a statement published by Takala's media office.
The meeting was attended by the First Deputy Head of the HCS, Masoud Obeid, the Rapporteur, Belgassim Dibraz, and HCS member Ali Abdulaziz.
Takala's media office added that the meeting discussed the latest political developments at the local and international levels, and ways to enhance cooperation between the committees of the HCS and the government.
Meanwhile, Ellafi stressed the government's keenness to build a positive, integrated relationship with the committees of the HCS, and to coordinate with the HCS members to determine the priorities and services that Libya's regions need in a way that meets the aspirations of citizens.
Benghazi Court of Appeal ruled last Thursday to suspend the implementation of the Presidential Council's decision to establish the "National Commission for Referendum and Survey, and to appoint a council to manage it."
Commenting on the ruling, the advisor to the Head of the Presidential Council, Ziyad Daghim, said that the commission was working actively, stressing that the decisions of the Presidential Council can only be appealed before the Supreme Court.
