Original: Libya’s parliament removes Speaker Saleh after 12 years as discontent grows https://www. aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/7/l
Libya's eastern-based House of Representatives has voted to remove Aguila Saleh, ending his 12 years as parliament speaker, and replace him with Al-Salhin. The move reflects growing discontent within the assembly over Saleh's long tenure and his grip on power. The vote adds to Libya's ongoing political turbulence, where rival institutions in the east and west continue to compete for legitimacy.
Why now: The removal of a longtime power broker signals a significant shift in Libya's fractured political landscape.
