REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, TRIPOLI -- The UN special envoy to Libya said Wednesday that a draft power-sharing agreement in the North African country is still in the making.

"The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) reminds all parties that the document is still in the development stage. Therefore, it should be dealt with on this basis, until all parties reach a consensus about what they believe is a viable political settlement," Bernardino Leon said in a statement.

Leon pointed out that the draft is based on the UN-sponsored discussions between the parties to Libya's crisis, which erupted three months ago.

The oil-rich country is now juggling two rival parliaments and governments. According to Libya's transitional plan, the June-elected parliament, the House of Representatives, has already replaced the former interim General National Congress (GNC).

However, the armed Islamist alliance Libya Dawn, which has achieved a series of military progress since July in western Libya, backs the GNC to assume power and form its own government against the new one.

The UN plan suggests forming a national unity government and granting legitimacy to the elected parliament. But, the GNC says this violates a ruling by the Libyan Supreme Court that overturned a constitutional amendment by which the new house was elected.

On Tuesday, the GNC rejected a draft solution proposed by the UN special envoy to end the country's political crisis.

The UN has brokered several rounds of dialogues between the opposing parties since September, but clashes remained despite a truce agreed on by factions.
