Libya's rival governments in the east and west signed a roadmap today for nationwide elections in 2027, the Tripoli-based Presidential Council announced. The agreement, brokered after years of UN-led mediation with recent involvement from Trump envoy Masad Bolus, aims to replace the two competing administrations with a unified government. Libya's last elections in 2014 produced disputed results and sparked civil war. A planned 2021 vote was canceled days before it was set to take place.
