Three key Libyan leaders said on Sunday they had agreed on the "necessity" of forming a new unified government that would supervise the elections.
The leaders are the president of the Presidential Council (PC) Mohamed Menfi, the head of High State Council (HSC) Mohamed Takala, who are both based in Tripoli, and Aguila Saleh, speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) in Benghazi.
They met in Cairo at the invitation of Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
In a joint statement, the three leaders called on the UN Mission in Libya and the international community to support their proposals.
They said they had agreed to form a technical committee to "look into controversial points.”
"The measures that were agreed upon today, we believe, are a very important beginning. They are results that live up to the ambition of Libyans to hold elections," Menfi told the media after the meeting.
