Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) has outlined a political road map to complete its transitional period, a NTC's representative to Britain said on Friday.
"As long as Tripoli, the capital, is stabilized and secure and safe, which it almost is now, and the overwhelming majority of other cities and towns, then Libyans can get on with the process of transition and stabilization and the new political process," Guma El-Gamaty, the NTC's representative in London told BBC.
He said the process of transition was already under way and the NTC leadership would complete their move to Tripoli within a few days.
A council will be elected within eight months to take over and oversee the drafting of a democratic constitution, Gamaty said.
"We have eight months and a year that will take us to final elections with both parliamentary and presidential elections," said Gamaty.
"And then hopefully by the end of about 20 months, the Libyan people will have elected the leaders they want to lead their country," he said.
Commenting on Gaddafi's whereabouts, the Libyan rebel representative said "Gaddafi is still at large, but he is hiding and he is isolated...We think it's just a matter of time (for his capture)."
