Member of the House of Representatives, Rabia Aburas, warned that the recent cabinet reshuffle announced by the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, creates further obstacles to establishing the political framework required for holding elections. Speaking to Al-Masar TV, Aburas stated that such actions reflect a persistent trend of managing the transitional phase through unilateral executive decisions, bypassing the institutional and political consensus mandated by the political agreement. This approach, she noted, risks deepening national divisions and negatively impacting the country’s political trajectory.

Furthermore, Aburas highlighted that while unilateral measures might provide the government with temporary administrative capacity to manage certain files, they simultaneously erode trust between political institutions. This lack of cooperation undermines efforts to build a national consensus capable of paving the way for the long-awaited electoral process. In a different context, the MP pointed out that the decision to cancel taxes on specific goods was a direct result of parliamentary pressure and widespread public rejection, noting that the reversal helped alleviate popular discontent.

Concluding her assessment, Aburas observed that the Libyan political and economic landscape is currently caught between unilateral executive actions and opposing political and social pressures. She cautioned that the continued absence of full institutional coordination and consensus would practically lead to further delays in the upcoming electoral milestones.
