Basic People's Congress (administrative division)
Template:Short description Template:Politics of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi Basic People's Congress (Template:Langx) was the primary administrative division in Libya under the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2011. It corresponded approximately to the level of a township or borough.
During Muammar Gaddafi's rule, 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 administrative divisions.[3]
