Tripoli based Libyan Prime Minister, Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba, announced his intention to launch a new political initiative in the coming days that includes three tracks to get Libya out of its current political impasse.
Aldabaiba launched the initiative at yesterday’s 2nd Ordinary Cabinet meeting of 2025 held at Tripoli’s Al-Nasser Woods Complex (formerly Rixos complex).
Aldabaiba only initially announced the headings of these Three Tracks, leaving much to interpretation.
The First track
The First Track involved restructuring the government based on efficiency/meritocracy, and away from regional/tribal ministerial/appointment quotas or the effects of the eastern based parallel government.
This implies and confirms the general public consensus that several current ministers are incompetent and are in post based only on tribal/regional pressures. It implies a desire to appoint ministers loyal to a national idea vision rather than their tribe or region – at the expense of the advancement of the Libyan state.
The Second Track
The Second Track involves the launch of the “National Survey” project as an inclusive tool and an expression of the popular will.
This is an idea previously launched by the Presidency Council. Aldabaiba and the Presidency Council seek to appeal to the general public through surveys which confirm the public’s desire and mandate to create a strong state of institutions. Primarily, they seek to use the responses to these surveys to empower them to move forward against the status quo and the current political quagmire and impasse.
This would presumably include using this political mandate to confront and demobilize the powerful militias that act as hurdles to the sovereign state and the government in achieving development and progress.
The Third Track
The Third Track involves establishing a realistic mechanism to secure the elections and end to the pretext of a parallel government.
A translation of this could mean that Aldabaiba and the recently politically proactive Presidency Council seek to somehow bypass the blocking effect of the House of Representatives, led by Ageela Salah and supported by the Hafter family, in decreeing ‘‘fair’’ elections laws.
These new fair election laws would to enable the holding of elections resulting in one unified Libyan government and extracting Libya out of its current moribund transition state.
