Gaddafi proclaimed that the People's Congresses provided for Libya's every political need, rendering other political organizations unnecessary; all non-authorized groups, including political parties, professional associations, independent trade unions, and women's groups, were banned.
Gaddafi menyatakan bahwa Muktamar memenuhi semua kebutuhan politik Libya, sehingga organisasi politik lain dianggap tidak diperlukan; semua kelompok yang tidak mendapatkan izin (termasuk partai politik, asosiasi profesional, serikat buruh, dan kelompok wanita dilarang).
