Decision No. 26 of 2022 Authorizing Nida'a Al-Qalam Party to Practice Political Activity

The Committee on Party Affairs authorized Nida'a Al-Qalam Party to operate as a political party in Libya, effective May 31, 2022. This decision follows review of the party's application and prior committee deliberations in October 2021. The authorization is published in the Official Gazette as required by law.

This decision has minimal direct impact on foreign commercial operations. It represents continued functioning of Libya's party registration framework established under Law 29 of 2012, indicating administrative continuity in political institution-building. The proliferation of authorized parties (at least 29 since 2021 based on related decisions) reflects ongoing political fragmentation, which prolongs uncertainty around electoral timelines and ultimate sovereign authority—factors that continue to complicate long-term investment planning and contractual counterparty risk assessment.
