Jibril’s international legitimacy, his tribal affiliation (the Warfalla tribe includes about one million of Libya’s 6.4 million people), and leadership style, coupled with a broad coalition, served the country’s liberal forces well. So did a clever electoral campaign, which focused on incentives and hope (while also exaggerating the repercussions of an Islamist takeover).
其他因素也偏向于自由派。吉布利勒以其国际正当性、其所拥有的部落关系（瓦尔法拉（Warfalla）部落拥有利比亚640万人口中的100万）以及其领导风格再加上广泛的联盟，形成了利比亚自由力量坚强后盾。聪明的选举宣传也起了作用——以激励和希望为核心（当然也对伊斯兰主义掌权的后果进行了夸张）。
