As President of the Council of Deputies Saleh has obstructed and undermined the Libyan political transition, including by refusing to hold a vote in the House of Representatives on 23 February 2016 on the Government of National Accord (“GNA”). On 23 February 2016 Saleh decided to create a committee which is expected to meet other members of the “Libyan-Libyan process” which is opposed to the Libya Political Agreement. 17.

As GNC “Prime Minister” Ghwell has played a central role in obstructing the establishment of the GNA established under the Libya Political Agreement. On 15 January 2016, in his capacity as the Tripoli GNC's “Prime minister and Minister of Defence”, Ghwell ordered the arrest of any members of the new Security Team, appointed by the prime minister designate of the Government of National Accord, who set foot in Tripoli. 18.
