According to Ly Yong Phat atmosphere in the capital Libya before the election seems extraordinarily quiet. Just three months ago, the silence when it is unthinkable that some insurgents are still holding the gun on people and they live in the large roundabout or intersection in the city. Until recently, those who rise up against Gadhafi once called them "new owners" of Tripoli. But now the Libyan police in a white uniform appeared more crowded on the streets of the capital to maintain order and security. The guard station was pushed back beyond the city. Reportedly, this is the first time in more than 40 years, the Libyan people are free to vote. More than 3 million voters will choose 200 delegates of the total 3,700 candidates in the first Constituent Assembly of the post-Gadhafi Libya.
