The Libyan political dialogue committee agreed on six proposals to amend the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) that was signed in Skhirat, Morocco, on December 17, 2015. “The Head of the Government of National Accord will be picked from outside the Presidential Council and he will be responsible for the executive authority along with the ministers.” The committee stated in its final statement. It added that a new position – a council – is going to be formed to be appointed as the Chief Commander of the Libyan Army. Most of the political stakeholders in Libya have previously expressed disagreement with the outcome of the meetings of the dialogue committee, including the Presidential Council, whose spokesman said the committee is not entitled to amend the Libyan Political Agreement. Likewise, the HoR did not send a delegation to take part in the Hammamet meeting, while the HCS had already announced it rejection for expanding its membership to include the General National Congress’s members elected in 2012.
