Libya is hoping to hold general elections on December 10 should plans as agreed between rival factions be implemented without any disruption.
The factions agreed on Tuesday to hold parliamentary and presidential elections in December, according to an advisor to Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Seraj during a meeting in French capital Paris.
Seraj is attending the meeting which is also hosting eastern-based military commander Khalifa Haftar and the heads of two parliamentary assemblies.
Focus is for the factions to agree on a roadmap towards the elections with hopes of finalising a constitutional base for elections by September, 16.
Libya has been in turmoil since its former leader, Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and killed in 2011 by rebels backed by western powers.
The north African country has been torn apart since then with two factions controlling the country with violence and instability in parts of the country as efforts to restore peace continue.
Saif Gaddafi, the second son of the late Libyan leader is speculated to be planning to announce his intention to run for president.
Last year Gaddafi’s family spokesperson Basem Hashimi Soul said Saif’s announcement will soon take place.
