The Head of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, has reaffirmed that “his government will not leave until elections are held and the Libyan people choose who will lead them.”
In his speech at the Tripoli Government Communication Forum, as part of the Tripoli Media Days, Dbeibah reaffirmed his support for elections based on fair election laws.
Regarding his candidacy for the upcoming presidential elections, Dbeibah said, “He has not yet decided on that prospect” and that he “does not object to Saif Gaddafi’s candidacy unless there are legal obstacles.” English translation
[Source is in English (The Libya Observer); Dbeibah's underlying remarks were in Arabic. Editorial context, not a translation.] Declared positions of Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, head of the UN-recognized Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tripoli since 2021. Libya has been split between his Tripoli government and a rival administration backed by the Tobruk-based House of Representatives (which appointed parallel prime ministers — Fathi Bashagha in 2022, later Osama Hammad). Dbeibah has repeatedly insisted he will hand power only to a government chosen through elections; in these remarks at the Tripoli Government Communication Forum he reaffirms that stance and his support for elections under fair laws, says he has not decided on his own presidential candidacy, and states he does not object to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi's candidacy absent legal obstacles. The article is undated in the fetched page but post-dates the September 2023 Derna floods, which it references (so c. late 2023–2024). [Axes: democracy, regime-stance.]
