Political process and institutional reunification
In her statement, UK Permanent Representative Sarah MacIntosh links the renewal to continued work on Special Representative Hanna Tetteh’s roadmap. She describes support for reunifying Libyan institutions, establishing a single executive authority and women’s participation in the political process.
The reference to elections within 24 months concerns commitments under the political process cited in the UK statement. It does not announce a specific election day or confirm that a unified government has already been formed.
