The United Nations Mission in Libya announced the list of candidates for the transitional presidential council and the position of the Libyan prime minister, who will have to be appointed next week to ensure the transition process by next December's elections, and the participants in the Libyan political dialogue that began last November under the auspices of the United Nations will meet from the first to February 5, in Switzerland, to vote on the composition of the Presidency Council, which will consist of three members and a prime minister, assisted by two deputies, according to the United Nations.
This transitional council must "reunite state institutions and ensure security" until the December 24 elections.
The list includes the names of 45 people, including only three women, from the west and east of the country, in addition to others from the south.
Among the names put forward for the post of prime minister is Fathi Bashagha, the powerful interior minister in the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord.
As for Ahmed Maitiq, who is the vice president of the Presidency Council in Tripoli, he is also a candidate for the post of Transitional Prime Minister, and among the candidates for the Presidency Council is Khaled al-Mashri, head of the Libyan Supreme Council of State, and Osama al-Juwaili, one of the leaders who participated in the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi's regime in 2003 2011.
The list of the most prominent candidates in the east of the country includes Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh, and Muhammad al-Barghthi, Libya's ambassador to Jordan, both of whom are candidates for the Presidency Council.
In addition, the spokesman for the Libyan National Army, Major General Ahmed Al-Mesmari, denied the presence of Russian "Wagner" forces in or outside the city of Sirte, adding that the situation in Sirte is completely stable, and the security services are completely in control of the situation.
This came in a comment by Al-Mesmari on what was circulated regarding “the finding of leaflets in the Arabic and Russian languages in Sirte, containing threats against a group of Wagner forces,” which he described as “fake”.
