Libya's eastern-based House of Representatives voted to replace longtime Speaker Aguila Saleh with Al-Salhin Abdelnabi al-Obeidi, ending his 12-year tenure. The move follows a new rule limiting the speaker to a single 12-month term, amid growing discontent among lawmakers. The vote deepens political shifts in divided Libya, where the east is backed by commander Khalifa Haftar.
