Executive division makes holding genuine elections difficult

State Council member Ahmed Ahmaoma believes the UN mission’s efforts still lack mechanisms. These mechanisms are needed to address the roots of the crisis.

Ahmaoma made these remarks to Al-Ain Al-Ikhbariya. He said attempts to unify the military and executive authorities are hindered. A strong constitutional and political foundation is absent. Structural problems within military institutions also persist. These issues are present in both the country’s east and west.

He explained Libya needs a different approach. It must move beyond traditional solutions. The real path to stability starts with a permanent constitution. It also requires presidential elections. These elections should produce a unified authority. This authority must enjoy full popular legitimacy.

He added that ongoing division within the executive authority makes it difficult to organize genuine elections.

He noted the UN mission is slow to take bolder steps. For instance, it could form an expanded dialogue committee. This committee would include various segments of Libyan society. Their task would be to select a new government and presidential council. Their primary mission would be to conduct elections.

Ahmaoma believes the absence of clear political decisiveness means current efforts are closer to managing the crisis. They are not resolving it. This situation could escalate division. It would fail to contain it.
