Libyan Prime Minister (PM) Abdulhamid Dbeibah intends to run for president, a senior source at Libyan National Government (LNA) revealed, according to Reuters

 

The official registration for candidates is set to open on Monday.

 

It is worth mentioning that, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris plans to support Libya taking steps toward elections at a conference in Paris next week, according to senior administration officials.

 

“We want to show our support for the Libyan people as they move toward national elections and as they focus on the importance of the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries,” one of the officials told Reuters.

 

The Libya-focused summit, organized with the United Nations, Germany and Italy in Paris for Nov. 12, is expected to gather some 20 regional and international heads of state.
