Next Libyan presidential election

The next Libyan presidential election is scheduled to take place by 17 February 2027 to elect the President of Libya. The election will take place simultaneously with the parliamentary election. A presidential election in Libya had originally been planned for 10 December 2018, but was delayed due to Khalifa Haftar's Western Libya campaign. The election was thereafter rescheduled to be held on 24 December 2021 but was indefinitely postponed after the head of the High National Election Commission (HNEC) ordered the dissolution of the electoral committees nationwide. In June 2026, the heads of the HoR, the High Council of State and the Presidential Council agreed on holding elections by 17 February 2027.
