Tripoli, 20 May 2014:

Councillors were sworn in and then mayors  elected for six more new municipalities yesterday at a . . .[restrict]ceremony at Tripoli’s Waddan Hotel overseen by the Acting Minister of Local Government, Salah Said, and Othman Gajiji,  Chairman of the Central Committee for Municipal Council Elections (CCMCE).  Elders from the respective municipalities and members of their outgoing local councils attended along with families.

Elections have now taken place in the vast majority of Libya’s new municipalities. On Saturday, they took place four of the Tripoli municipalities.

That is because of delays in announcing who was elected.  It is hoped, though, that this will now quickly change. [/restrict]
