The Libyan House of Representatives is convening a formal session today in Benghazi, following a 24-hour delay caused by travel difficulties that prevented several lawmakers from the western region from reaching the eastern city.
The session—originally scheduled for Monday—was postponed after a number of MPs based in Tripoli were unable to travel, resulting in the failure to meet the required quorum.
Parliamentary sources confirmed that the majority of western-region representatives have now arrived in Benghazi, clearing the way for the session to proceed as planned.
High on the agenda is the 2025 draft state budget, submitted by the Libyan government, which is expected to undergo detailed discussion, particularly in light of the country’s fragile economic conditions and ongoing fiscal challenges.
The session will also address several other items listed on the official agenda, though the budget remains the focal point amid growing public and institutional scrutiny over government spending and resource allocation.
The outcome of today’s deliberations will likely set the tone for broader financial policy in the months ahead, as Libya navigates a complex landscape of political division and economic uncertainty.
