Is there an expectation for Khalifa Haftar to renounce his US citizenship prior to the next Libyan election?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Maybe

  • Unsure

Answer

Yes, there is an expectation that Khalifa Haftar will renounce his US citizenship before the next Libyan election. This expectation stems from the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA), signed in 2015, which states that candidates for high-level positions, including the presidency, must not hold foreign citizenship. This requirement is part of the LPA's broader efforts to ensure the independence and sovereignty of Libya's government.
