Libya’s ex-parliament reconvenes, appoints Omar al-Hasi as PM
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya’s previous parliament reconvened unilaterally on Monday to elect Islamist-backed Omar al-Hasi as prime minister, a parliamentary spokesman said.
The term of the former legislature, in which Islamists had a strong representation, ended with national elections in June.
It has refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of its successor parliament, which is dominated by liberals and federalists.
