Libyan Supreme Council adjourned the session after Shooting attack

While the Supreme Council of State in Libya began an official session on Wednesday to resolve its decision and final position regarding changing the executive authority and forming a new government led by Fathi Bashagha, our sources reported that electricity was cut off from the meeting hall during the voting process.

The Council had begun an official session on Wednesday, to resolve its decision and its final position on changing the executive authority and forming a new government led by Fathi Pashaga.

The information added by hearing the sounds of shooting near the session of the Supreme Council of State, which led to the adjournment of the session due to the presence of a security threat.

This came amid a split in the parliament between those who support the survival of the current Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dabaiba until elections are held within a period of time not exceeding this fall, and those who welcome the formation of a new government headed by Fathi Bashagha, which will prepare the country for holding new elections within 14 months.

No roadmap yet

This council has not yet adopted the roadmap proposed by Parliament, which is based on forming a new government and holding elections within 14 months after amending the constitution.

Rather, he confirmed in a previous statement, the existence of several observations on the constitutional amendment and the change of the prime minister issued by the House of Representatives, stressing that they are “not final decisions and an improper procedure,” and that the State Council’s decision will be issued during an official session and with full transparency.

sharp division in the council

It is noteworthy that the Supreme Council of State was divided over Parliament’s decisions into two camps, where about 74 members confirmed their support for these measures and their support for the Prime Minister-designate Fathi Bashagha, while 54 members confirmed their alignment behind the Prime Minister of the Unity Government, Abdel Hamid Dabaiba, and their support for his continuation, considering that Parliament’s procedures to withdraw confidence from him void.

This division has also increased the ambiguity of the political scene in Libya, which is heading for the emergence of two governments vying for legitimacy and competing for power and state institutions, amid fears of an armed conflict in the country, which will further delay the elections.
