UN Official Says Libya's 4+4 Agreement Offers Practical Path to Elections
United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Africa Martin Kimani has said Libya's 4+4 agreement offers a practical path towards presidential and parliamentary elections by addressing longstanding constitutional and legal obstacles. Kimani made the remarks before the UN General Assembly's Fourth Committee on November 11, 2026.
Kimani said the agreement, reached on August 30 through talks facilitated by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), provides a viable electoral pathway. National elections in Libya have been repeatedly delayed by disputes over electoral laws and the constitutional basis for the vote.
The United Nations is seeking wider support for the 4+4 agreement. Kimani told the committee that the agreement addresses disputes that have repeatedly delayed national elections, and that its implementation will depend on support from Libyan parties and the international community.
