TRIPOLI, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Libya's Higher Council of State on Wednesday rejected amendment formula of the Libyan political agreement, and discussed possibility of holding early elections.
"The Higher Council of State denies agreement with the House of Representatives on this formula during the Tunis negotiations. We confirm that the council is not concerned with the voting of the House of Representatives," the council said in a statement.
It added that it commits to "the provisions of Article 12 of the Additional Provisions, which oblige the UN mission to agreement of both the Higher Council of State and the House of Representatives on the amendment formula."
"The council discussed a proposal to hold early elections within six months under the supervision of a miniature caretaker government of technocrats to be formed to supervise the elections," the statement added.
Libyan eastern-based House of Representatives on Tuesday adopted a UN-proposed formula for amendment of the Libyan political agreement.
The amendment is a part of an action plan proposed by Ghassan Salame, special representative to the Secretary General of the United Nations for Libya, in September that aims to end the state of political division.
