Tripoli, 28 June:

With Libya’s 7 July General National Congress Elections looming, Libya Herald has compiled some interesting numbers associated . . .[restrict]with the elections. Here are a few that we have highlighted.

7th of July – Probably the most important number is the 7th of July which is the date of the elections. The whole of Libya had been waiting for ‘the date’ when it became widely known that the elections would not actually take place on 19th June – the original election date.

16,000 –This is the number of bottles of indelible ink that voters will be dipping their fingers in after voting. I am sure that we will see many a photograph of ink-stained fingers all over the media celebrating this historic act – as was the case with the various local city elections.
