Fathi al-Marimi, media advisor to the Presidency of the House of Representatives, said that outgoing Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dabaiba’s statements on the election law aim to confuse the cards and keep Libyans away from the elections.
Al-Marimi said in a televised statement that Dabaiba explicitly said he did not want elections, saying, “I do not leave the presidency of the government except for an elected body.”
“The election laws completed by the 6+6 committee were issued without any amendment as stipulated in the constitutional amendment,” he said.
It is noteworthy that Dabaiba said that he will not leave the government until the elections are held and the Libyan people choose who will lead him, continuing: “We want elections according to fair laws,” according to his claim. The head of the Libyan “interim national unity” government, Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, rejected the idea of leaving office except through a legislative and presidential electoral process, amid the circulation of proposals to form a unified government that leads the country towards the election stage.
In an interview with the Lebanese journalist, Tony Khalifa earlier, during the activities of the Tripoli Forum for Government Communication, Dabaiba stressed: “I will not leave the chair except for those who deserve, and who decides is the people, and we seek elections.”
