Libyan lawmakers meet on delayed presidential election:
The Associated Press
The vote has faced many obstacles, including controversial presidential hopefuls, disputes over laws governing thes, occasional infighting among armed groups, and the long-running rift between the country’s east and west. Stephanie Williams, U.N. special adviser on Libya, implored lawmakers to “urgently address” challenges leveled by the High National Elections Commission and “to push the electoral process forward.”
Libya's nationwide elections have for a year been the lynchpin of U.N.-mediated efforts to bring peace to the oil-rich North African nation. Libya plunged into turmoil after a NATO-backed uprising in 2011 toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who was later killed. Suliman al-Harrari, head of the parliament’s internal affairs committee, told Fawasel, a media website, that the legislature would deliberate whether the interim government could remain at the helm until the vote takes place.
