The Speaker of the House of Representatives Aqila Saleh expressed his surprise at the intention of the two deputies boycotting the Presidential Council, Ali al-Qatrani and Fathi al-Mughrabi, to return to the council, saying that this demonstrates disrespect for the legislative authority in Libya.

Saleh also criticized the work of the bloc of Cyrenaica MPs within the House of Representatives.

"Cyrenaica MPs and other blocs are not representing the people, but are working for regional interests," HoR head said.

He also pointed out that the delay in the unification process of the executive authorities is due to what he described as the "procrastination" of the High Council of the State, who prefers the status quo, as he put it.
