FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Nuri Al-Abbar, chairman of the Libyan election commission, said that
participation in the vote in all cities had been “good”,
describing the election as “successful, amid an atmosphere of joy among
all the Libyans, despite some obstacles in some areas which were immediately
overcome”
Even in one of the most troubled spots, the eastern town of Ajdabiyah, clashes
between backers and opponents of the elections failed to prevent them
passing off “smoothly,” according to al-Abbar.
President Barack Obama praised the conduct of the election while William
Hague, the foreign secretary, called it a “landmark moment”.
Any NFA victory, if confirmed, would be a deep disappointment for Libyan
Islamists, who had been widely predicted to win in the same way as their
counterparts in neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia. But Libyan politics remains
embryonic, resisting simple divisions. During the election, Mr Jibril’s NFA
rejected secularism, promising to rule according to Islamic values and
sharia law. The main Islamist groupings, meanwhile, stressed their
commitment to women’s rights and used pictures of unveiled women on their
election posters.
Party-controlled seats also account for only 40 per cent of the new 200-seat
congress. Attention may now switch to the political allegiances of the 120
elected “independent” members, not all of whom are genuinely
independent.
