(Reuters) - United Nations Libya envoy Abdoulaye Bathily said on Tuesday that
"a unified government, agreed upon by the major players, is an imperative for leading the country to elections", an apparent shift from an earlier position that elections should come first.
U.N. diplomacy in recent years had focused on the urgency of holding national elections despite differences, rather than replacing GNU Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah and forming another interim government to oversee the vote. In his comments to the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday Bathily said he was exploring the possibility of convening a meeting"of the main stakeholders or their representatives" to resolve major issues.
