At least 40 House of Representatives (HoR) members have threatened to boycott the HoR sessions and hold a consultative session in Tripoli after Eid Al-Adha (in early July) in protest against the last closed session of the HoR which took a number of decisions in that session, saying the presidency of the HoR indicated that sessions would be held after the Eid holiday but held one anyway.
The members said the decisions taken in that closed session "are invalid". They said the session, which was held on Monday, did not rise to the level of legislation or a parliamentary decision, describing what happened in the session as “recklessness” and an attempt to weaken the parliament, according to their statement.
They also gave the HoR's presidency a deadline to cancel the decisions issued in the session no later than the date of the consultative session in Tripoli, which “will be decisive in the history of the HoR's tenure."
The HoR spokesman, Abdullah Blehiq, said on Monday that the HoR members voted unanimously during a closed session to choose a president and members of the Constitutional Circuit Court, which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional; in addition to dismissing the current head of the Administrative Control Authority and choosing Khalid Al-Mabrouk as his successor, and the chairman and members of the board of directors of the National Planning Council, to select a new board of directors headed by Ahmed Abridan.
