Position to which the former Minister of the Interior aspires
FathiBashagha and the unknown Ahmed al Maitiq
The Libyan Parliament has announced next Thursday, February 10, as the date for the vote to elect a new prime minister, a position to which former Interior Minister FathiBashagha and the unknown Ahmed al Maitiq aspire.
The race seems decided in principle in favor of Bashagha since the withdrawal of former Prime Minister Fayez al Sarraj, according to the Bloomberg news agency.
Parliament has also announced that a new president will be voted on within 14 months. In addition, after the work to reform the Constitutional Declaration of 2012, the amendments will be voted on in a period of approximately one week.
Libya has had a unity government since March 2021 after a process of talks to unify the opposing administrations, after the internationally recognized authorities based in Tripoli repelled in 2020 the offensive launched a year earlier by Commander KhalifaHaftar, chief of forces from eastern Libya, against the capital.
