On Saturday, new Chairman of the Libyan Presidency Council, Mohamad Al-Manfi, discussed with a delegation of parliamentarians the convening of the parliament and carrying out the necessary arrangements to consider granting confidence to the new government. The Libyan House of Representatives, currently based in Tobruk, agreed to conduct a plenary session in Sirte to hold a vote of confidence for the recent interim government. A source in the House of Representatives confirmed the start of the technical and logistical preparations for conducting this introductory session following the approval and signature of nearly 100 members, which will be devoted to discussing the mechanism for implementing the outcomes of the previous Libyan Political Dialogue Forum session in Geneva. The source explained the session was held to study the mechanism for adopting the new executive authority and whether it will be in the direct voting process, in a plenary session, or through video conference.
