Independent MPs meet over sessions agendas, voting method

Sixteen independent and "change" MPs convened Monday at the Parliament to discuss the Parliamentary sessions' agendas and the method of voting.

The MPs will not discuss the upcoming Presidential election, MP Ashraf Rifi said before the meeting.

In the latest legislative session, the change MPs had demanded that lawmakers vote verbally through their microphones and not by raising their hands. Several heated exchanges followed.
