Libya parliament speaker issues election law -spokesperson

Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Aguila Saleh attends a High-level Meeting on Libya Constitutional Track at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, June 28, 2022. Libya's political divisions played into the recent disaster in Derna when dams broke under heavy rain, washing away much of the town in a flash flood that killed thousands of people. Saleh has previously issued laws whose validity some HoR members later disputed, accusing him of abusing parliamentary processes. Two HSC members on Wednesday provided Reuters with contradictory accounts of whether the council had approved the laws or not.
