Libya's parliament elected a new speaker after lawmakers first voted to amend the chamber's internal rules, according to Anadolu Agency.
The election of the new speaker followed a vote by 98 members of parliament to form a new parliamentary presidency, a procedural step that preceded the leadership vote.
Libya has faced prolonged political fragmentation since 2011, with competing governing institutions and parliaments at times claiming authority over different parts of the country. Changes in parliamentary leadership have frequently been tied to broader shifts in the balance of political power among Libyan factions.
The report did not specify the identity of the newly elected speaker or provide further detail on the amended internal rules that preceded the vote.
Developments within Libya's parliamentary institutions continue to be closely watched both domestically and by international actors involved in supporting the country's political stabilization process.
