Earlier reports said that the date for Libya’s House of Representatives election has been set June 25.

But UN High Commissioner Abdul Hakim denied that related reports were true, as the final date would be announced later.

“There are four proposed dates to the parliament to hold the election, including June 25, but there is no agreement on that date or any other date,” Xinhua quoted Hakim as saying.
