“The number of people coming to vote so far is not bad considering it is early and the day is still long,” a member of the Central Committee of the Municipal Councils Election (CCMCE), Said Shakeh, told the Libya Herald this morning. “I expect more and more people to come”.

Initial results would be ready by the middle of next week.  “The counting takes from two to three days,” he said.

“This is very good for Tripoli as a city,” a voter at a polling station in central Tripoli said. “I think the elected representatives of Tripoli Municipality will want to serve their city in a transparent way.”

The other greater Tripoli area municipalities – Janzour, Ain Zara, Swani, Qasr Ben Gashir and Tajoura – have already held their elections. [/restrict]
