The State Council based in Tripoli said that the rival eastern and western Libyan governments signed a roadmap today for holding nationwide elections in 2027. The agreement, reached after years of United Nations mediation and the recent involvement of Masad Boulos, a Trump administration envoy, aims to end the power split and replace the two rival administrations with a single government. The last Libyan election was held in 2014, its results were contested and sparked a civil war, while the planned 2021 vote was cancelled just days before it was due.
