The General NationalCongress yesterday rejected a 10-member “crisis government” proposed by Libya’s Prime Minister Mustafa Abu Shagur and dismissed him, the presidency said.
One hundred and twenty-five members in the 200-seat GNC did not express “confidence” in the list, against 44 members for and 17 abstentions, according to a live transmission on state television.
Under GNC rules, the assembly will now elect a new premier after Abu Shagur had an earlier proposed line-up turned down.
