In Spring 2026, the Council of Representatives commenced its regular session with a significant attendance exceeding two hundred members. An official statement in May 2026 noted that the session is part of the first legislative year's activities for the current
term. In mid-May 2026, Al-Halbousi chaired deliberations focused on enhancing the parliamentary institution's oversight and legislative roles. The attendance of 217 MPs in 2026 reflects the seriousness of political forces in passing laws that serve the public interest.
