On Tuesday, the spokesperson for Libya’s eastern-based parliament, Abdullah Belhaiq, announced that the parliament has voted to suspend the current appointed prime minister, Fathi Bashagha, and has assigned his finance minister, Osama Hamada, to assume his responsibilities.
The parliament appointed Bashagha last year but he has proven unable to enter the capital Tripoli or take over from Prime Minister Abdulhamid Al-Dbeibah, who rejected his appointment.
