TRIPOLI, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Acting Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General to Libya Stephanie Williams on Friday urged the newly elected mayors of the Libyan cities of Ghat, Kikla and Misurata to practice inclusive participation of underrepresented groups and women.
"I congratulate the democratically elected mayors and I wish them every success in their endeavors to promote unity, social cohesion, and the economic well-being of their constituents," Williams said.
"I also encourage the new Mayors to promote and practice inclusive participation in their decision-making processes while ensuring the effective participation of underrepresented groups and women," she added.
Earlier in September, the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) reiterated its strong support for Libyan people in conducting municipal elections and strengthening local governance, as well as to the Central Committee for Municipal Council Elections for its vital role in ensuring municipal elections are conducted democratically and through an inclusive and credible process.
