Libyan Political Dialogue Forum
The Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) is an intra-Libyan political body involved in series of meetings started in late 2020, initially aiming to lead to Libyan elections, Libyan peace process and "democratic legitimacy of Libyan institutions", mainly taking place in the context of the Second Libyan Civil War. The LPDF continued in 2020, involving both Government of National Unity and the Government of National Stability as leading elements of the peace process.
Stephanie Williams, as Acting Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for Libya and deputy head of UNSMIL, launched the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum in late 2020.
Next Libyan presidential election
The Libyan presidential election had originally been planned for 10 December 2018, but was delayed due to Khalifa Haftar's Western Libya campaign. The election was thereafter scheduled to be held on 24 December 2021 but was indefinitely postponed after the head of the High National Election Commission (HNEC) ordered the dissolution of the electoral committees nationwide.
