House of Representatives Decision No. 7/2022 Revoking Membership of Nine MPs

27-09-2022ยทู…ุฌู„ุณ ุงู„ู†ูˆุงุจยทุณูŠุงุฏูŠ
Analysis
Summary

The Libyan House of Representatives revoked the membership of nine MPs, including former Prime Minister Fayez Al-Sarraj, on grounds they accepted executive authority positions incompatible with legislative membership under internal parliamentary rules. The decision took immediate effect from 27 September 2022.

Business Implication

This decision reflects ongoing institutional tensions between Libya's legislative and executive branches, particularly regarding eastern HoR authority over western-based government figures. For investors, this signals continued parliamentary fragmentation and raises questions about the legal validity of contracts or agreements signed by officials whose parliamentary status may be contested. Monitor whether revoked members challenge this decision and whether it affects enforceability of prior governmental commitments.

Key Provisions
Membership revocation of nine MPs including former PM Fayez Al-Sarraj for accepting executive authority roles
Based on breach of HoR Internal Rules prohibiting dual legislative-executive positions
Immediate effect from issuance date with repeal of contrary provisions
