Basic People's Congress (country subdivision)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Basic People's Congress Arabic: مؤتمر شعبي أساسي (Mu'tamar shaʿbi asāsi ) was the smallest administrative subdivision in Libya under the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2012. Geographically it corresponded approximately to the level of a township or borough.
Under Muammar Gaddafi's regime, political caucuses and committees of the Basic People's Congress operated at this level.[1] Representatives from the Basic People's Congresses regulated operations at the higher shabiyah (district) level.[1]
In July 2013 the shabiyat and Basic People's Congress system was replaced with a new baladiyat system[2] of ninety-nine first-level administration subdivisions.[3]
