Libyans to hold national polls in December 2021

Libyans at UN-led talks agreed Friday to hold national elections in December next year, the United Nations said, raising hopes for an end to a brutal decade-old conflict.  Friday's announcement came on the fifth day of political talks in Tunisia, involving 75 delegates from existing state bodies and groups from across Libya's political and social spectrum. Participants at the talks agreed that national elections should take place on December 24, 2021, acting UN envoy Stephanie Williams told journalists in a virtual news conference. She said Libyans feared an entrenched foreign presence in their country and "very much want to reclaim their sovereignty". "You can restore it through the ballot box," she said.
