Tripoli, November 2, 2026 (LANA) – The House of Representatives held an official session today, Monday, in the city of Sabha, chaired by Speaker of the House, Engineer Salehin Abdulnabi, and attended by First Deputy Speaker Tareq Al-Ashtar and Second Deputy Speaker Misbah Douma. This marks the first time the House has held an official session in the city.

At the opening of the session, the Speaker expressed his pleasure at convening the meeting in Sabha, describing it as the beating heart of southern Libya. He stressed that this step represents a historic national and institutional occasion and embodies Libya’s unity, as well as the House’s commitment to ensuring the presence of state institutions across all regions of the country, maintaining direct communication with citizens, and responding to their aspirations and needs.

The official spokesperson for the House of Representatives, Abdullah Blehaq, stated that the House proceeded to discuss the items on its agenda. Members discussed the proposed law on conscription and general mobilization before voting on it, with 82 out of 90 members voting in favour, alongside the adoption of an amendment related to the law.

Blehaq added that the Speaker presented a memorandum submitted by southern members of the House of Representatives, the Deputy Prime Minister for the Southern Region, as well as elders, sheikhs, and municipalities of Fezzan, outlining the region’s development needs and requirements.

The House unanimously voted in favour of establishing an oil refinery in southern Libya, while the remaining demands were referred to the relevant authorities for consideration.

In a related development, the official spokesperson explained that the House voted, by a majority of 78 out of the 90 members attending the session, to accept the resignation of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Libya and appoint Dr. Fawzi Aboukham as the new Governor.

At the conclusion of the session, the House of Representatives decided to hold its next session in the city of Zintan on November 16, before announcing the suspension of the current session.

The convening of the House of Representatives session in Sabha comes as part of the House’s approach to holding sessions in different Libyan cities, strengthening communication with various regions and social communities, and providing an opportunity to discuss national and development-related issues and needs across the country.
