The Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR), Ageela Saleh, announced that the development wheel in Libya has begun to turn urgently and earnestly. In his address at the inauguration of the new Benghazi bridges, Saleh stated that the construction of bridges will ease congestion and facilitate movement within the city. He emphasised that these accomplishments are a testament to the significant impact of developmental tasks on improving life in Libya.
Saleh added that Libya, being a country of security and stability, invites everyone to participate in its development. He urged Libyan citizens to preserve the completed projects, emphasising the country’s commitment to swift and serious developmental progress.
In his speech, Saleh also commended Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for his support of the Libyan people. He extended gratitude to the Egyptian companies that have completed their tasks according to international standards and saluted the Egyptian people.
Saleh affirmed the HoR’s support for stability and reconstruction projects in Libya. He pledged to stand united in supporting these tremendous efforts, underscoring the parliament’s commitment to backing Libya’s developmental and reconstruction projects.
Days ago, Saleh met with representatives from over 30 political parties in Al-Qubbah, Libya. The meeting, which also saw the presence of council member, Abdelhadi Al-Saghir centered on accelerating the process towards holding elections in Libya.
The parties emphasised the urgency of conducting these elections, in accordance with the existing electoral laws. They stressed the need for forming a unified government to oversee the electoral process and support the High National Elections Commission (HNEC) in fulfilling this national mandate.
The parties have requested amendments to Law No. 29 of 2012, which regulates political parties. This proposed amendment is set to be reviewed by the Parliament’s Legislative Committee.
This meeting marks a pivotal moment in Libya’s ongoing efforts to stabilise and democratise the country. The call for legal reforms and the push for a unified government to oversee elections reflect the collective aspiration for a more structured, and democratic governance system in Libya. The outcome of these discussions and the subsequent actions by the HoR are eagerly awaited by Libyan’s and the international community, as they could significantly influence Libya’s political landscape.
