Stephanie Williams, the acting UN envoy to Libya, announced that the participants in the Libyan political talks meeting in Tunisia agreed to hold parliamentary and presidential elections on December 24 of next year.
In an online press conference, Williams said that the challenge now is to implement the Military Committee's plan to start removing the military elements from the central region of the country and some foreign elements, asking the concerned countries and members of these forces to respect the will of the Libyans.
"The participants agreed to establish a new presidential council, and an executive body to manage the transitional period, and to hold national elections on the specified day," she added.
She explained that the tasks and authorities of the government and the Presidency Council, which will manage the transitional process, were discussed during the meeting.
The United Nations envoy to Libya announced earlier that the transitional period will last for 18 months.
It was also agreed that the United Nations would provide technical support to hold these elections.
These are the first results of the discussions taking place in Tunisia since last Monday and will continue until early next week, between 75 components of Libya, chosen under the supervision of the United Nations, and who represent deputies and members of the Supreme Council of State (consultative representative), notables and representatives of the three regions (Tripoli, Barqa and Fezzan).
