TRIPOLI, 9 March, 2021 (TON): The House of Representatives has been called on by the newly elected Libyan PM Abdul Hamid Dbeibah to approve the new government.

He said in a speech on Monday, "I call on the members of the House of Representatives to give priority to the country's interests above all narrow and personal considerations, and enable the government to take on its difficult tasks immediately."

"Obstruction, postponement, and extension increased the suffering of our people," he added.

Recently, the UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) selected a new executive authority for Libya that was welcomed by all parties.

However, as agreed by the LPDF, the major task for the new authority is to prepare the country for December elections, i.e. general elections on 24 December, 2021.

On Sunday, the UN envoy to Libya Jan Kubis stressed the importance of holding a session of the House of Representatives to grant confidence to the new Government of National Unity.

However, it is not wrong to say that for the first time after so many years, the members of the House gathered to grant confidence to the new government.
