The Head of the High Council of State, Khalid Al-Mishri, met with the Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Aqilah Saleh in Morocco’s Rabat on Monday.

According to informed sources, the HoR and HCS agreed on reshuffle the Presidential Council to become “one head and two deputies” plus selecting a separate prime minister and a mechanism to appoint sovereign posts’ incumbents, in addition to issuing a law by the HoR for the constitution referendum.

Saleh told reporters Monday that the meeting was motivating and would be materialized on the ground by some needed action.

“We both knew that we need to breathe a new life in the 2015-brokered Libyan Political Agreement (LPA.)” Saleh added.

“It was a positive and friendly meeting,” said the HoR member, Salim Egnan, who was in Rabat with the delegation.

Egnan said the two parties saw it necessary for the HoR-HCS dialogue commission to continue its work to reach agreement on points of dispute, adding that it is time to form 5+5 committee as per the LPA.

“No names were nominated for any posts in the meeting as LPA still needs to be included by the HoR in the constitutional declaration.” He remarked.

Both of Saleh and Al-Mishri arrived in Morocco this week upon an invitation by the Moroccan Parliament’s President for an attempt to break Libya’s political stalemate.
