صَوَّتَ مَجْلِسُ النُّوَّابِ اللِّيبِيُّ، يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ ١٤ سِبْتَمْبَرَ، بِالْإِجْمَاعِ عَلَى اعْتِمَادِ الِاتِّفَاقِ النِّهَائِيِّ لِلَجْنَةِ «٤+٤». وَعُقِدَتِ الْجَلْسَةُ فِي مَدِينَةِ بَنْغَازِي.

وَقَالَتْ وَكَالَةُ الْأَنْبَاءِ اللِّيبِيَّةُ إِنَّ رَئِيسَ الْمَجْلِسِ، عَقِيلَةَ صَالِحٍ، تَرَأَّسَ الْجَلْسَةَ. وَذَكَرَ تَقْرِيرٌ لِبَوَّابَةِ الْوَسَطِ أَنَّ أَرْبَعِينَ نَائِبًا حَضَرُوا الْجَلْسَةَ.

لٰكِنَّ أَرْبَعَةً وَسِتِّينَ نَائِبًا قَاطَعُوا الْجَلْسَةَ. وَقَالُوا إِنَّ النِّصَابَ الْقَانُونِيَّ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى سَبْعَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ نَائِبًا. وَأَضَافُوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ يَطْعَنُونَ فِي قَرَارَاتِ الْجَلْسَةِ أَمَامَ الْقَضَاءِ. وَدَعَا صَالِحٌ إِلَى حُكُومَةٍ مُوَحَّدَةٍ تُشْرِفُ عَلَى الِانْتِخَابَاتِ.
