Libya 4+4 committee meets in Tunis to implement election agreement
Members of the Libyan 4+4 dialogue committee met in Tunis on September 20, 2026, to discuss the implementation of an agreement signed in Tripoli in late August. Chaired by Hanna Tetteh, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Libya, the meeting focused on moving toward national elections within a 24-month timeframe.
The committee, which includes four representatives from the Government of National Unity and four from the General Command of the East, reaffirmed their commitment to establishing unified, legitimate institutions. While the Libyan House of Representatives has unanimously supported the agreement, the High Council of State, led by Mohamed Takala, has expressed opposition.
Parallel to these UN-led efforts, Turkey has maintained active diplomatic involvement. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin have engaged with various Libyan factions to facilitate political unity. Recent Turkish mediation included hosting meetings between House of Representatives Speaker Aqila Saleh and High Council of State head Mohamed Takala to discuss political stability and cooperation.
