Al-Abidi Chosen as Libyan Parliament Head
The Libyan House of Representatives has elected Representative Salehien Abdel Nabi Al-Obeidi as its new speaker, succeeding Aguila Saleh, during a session held in Benghazi with the attendance of more than 100 deputies. The session was convened following a vote to amend the parliament’s internal regulations, which resulted in freezing the current presidency body and extending the current term by 12 months, with a deadline to elect a new leadership within seven days. Statements from deputies confirmed that Al-Obeidi's election was unanimous, despite Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh’s rejection of the session’s outcomes and his view that they are unlawful, thereby widening disagreements over the legitimacy of the new arrangements. In this context, the Head of the Presidential Council warned against disputes over legitimacy and emphasized the need to adhere to the constitution. Since 2011, the Libyan political scene has been plagued by divisions between the internationally recognized Government of National Unity and the parallel government in the east, appointed by the parliament.
