Libya’s “Crown Prince” Calls for Return of Monarchy

March 25, 2023
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Mohammed El Senussi, the son of the late Crown Prince of Libya, Hasan El-Senussi called for the return of the Libyan monarchy, and the resumption of work on the constitution which founded the state.

He tweeted that the Libyan nation “has the right to adhere to the restoration of the constitution and ‘legitimacy’ in the country.” He added that the “monarchy came with the free will of the people following Libya’s independence.”

El Senussi also claimed that the 1951 constitution “confirms the constants of Libyan patriotism, the unity of Libyan soil, and the sovereignty of the state.”

In January, El Senussi told The Media Line that the current situation in Libya is “akin to being lost in the desert and that in order to find a way out of this predicament, the country must return to the point from which it deviated.”

El Senussi believes that “this means re-establishing the royal house and returning to the principles upon which the state was founded.” He asserted that “this is the only way to restore order and stability in the country, and move forward in a positive direction.”

His proposal to restore the monarchy “should not be viewed as an attempt to return to the past, but rather as a starting point for a new era in Libya.” The monarchy he envisions, he says, “will be like the constitutional monarchies in countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.”

Under this system, the “king will serve as the supreme commander of the armed forces, which will be a people’s army, and will appoint a Prime Minister following democratic elections for the Parliament.”

Libya is currently facing a political crisis after the Libyan Parliament swore in a new Prime Minister, former Interior Minister, Fathi Bashagha in February 2022. MP’s argued that the incumbent Prime Minister, Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba’s mandate expired when the elections failed to take place.

Dbaiba has refused to cede power, amid the fallout from a failed attempt to hold national elections in December 2021.
