Skhirat agreement
On 17 December 2015, representatives from both the House of Representatives and the reconstituted GNC signed the revised agreement, commonly referred to as the "Libyan Political Agreement" or the "Skhirat Agreement", named after the Moroccan city where the talks took place. The agreement envisioned the creation of a nine-member Presidential Council and a seventeen-member interim Government of National Accord (GNA), with the goal of organizing national elections within two years. Under the terms of the agreement, the House of Representatives would remain as the legislature, and a new consultative body, the High Council of State, would be formed with members nominated by the GNC.
