TRIPOLI – Libya's interim parliament passed late on Sunday a new law to regulate elections for a new parliament.
The legislation, approved by 124 out of the 133 lawmakers present at the session, makes it necessary for voting to take place in single-member constituencies.
Only 120 votes were needed to pass the law, according to the parliament official spokesperson Omar Humeidan.
He said the election commission would start preparations for the next legislative elections in his country. He, however, did not give a date for the polls.
Popular and political forces had mounted pressures on the interim parliament to hold new elections, citing its failure to abide by previously-agreed transitional milestones.
Humeidan said new legislature when elected would have the same mandate of the outgoing interim parliament.
He added that the new parliament would oversee the reminder of Libya's transition until a new constitution is drafted and elections for a permanent parliament are organized.
