Khaled Al-Mishri, who is in a leadership dispute over the presidency of the High Council of State with Mohammed Tekala, announced on Monday that he had received from House of Representatives Speaker Aguila Saleh a copy of endorsements submitted by several members of the High Council of State in support of candidates for the new government's premiership.
Al-Mishri added that these endorsements were sent individually to the House of Representatives outside official channels.
He noted that the parliament forwarded them to verify their authenticity and ensure they comply with the required regulations, as he put it.
Through his official Facebook page, Al-Mishri shared a scanned image of Aguila Saleh's letter, but did not disclose the names of the endorsing members. News Tagged: Khaled Al-Mishri Aqilah Saleh

Takala wins presidency of HCS in election session described by Al-Mishri as "illegitimate"

Mohammed Takala was elected Head of the High Council of State (HCS) after receiving 59 votes in the first round of voting during the council's session to elect its presidency, held today in the capital, Tripoli. The session convened earlier on Sunday with the attendance of 95 members—more than two-thirds of the council—who gathered to elect the council's president and two deputies. Following the vote, Takala was announced the winner with 59 votes, while Ali Al-Sweih received 13 votes, Ali Juwan received 14, and Naji Mukhtar received 8. Meanwhile, Khaled Al-Mishri, Takala's rival for the presidency of the High Council of State, rejected Sunday's session ahead of its start, describing it as an 'illegitimate election for the presidency of the High Council of State,' and insisted he remains the legitimate Head of HCS. A dispute over the council's leadership has persisted between Mohammed Takala and Khaled Al-Mishri since a controversial election session in August 2024. Despite multiple attempts by council members to mediate, the two sides failed to reach a consensus. Following the session and the announcement of Takala's victory, Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity Abdul Hamid Dbeibah congratulated Takala, reaffirming in a post on his Facebook page that the session reflected the members' commitment to unity and national will. He emphasized the government's support for all efforts that would strengthen political stability in the country. The Prime Minister called for greater understanding and coordination among institutions to meet the Libyan people's aspirations for security, development, and prosperity, and to realize their desire for direct elections and an end to all transitional phases.
