After Libyan parliament granted confidence to his government, Dabaiba says we will deliver Libya to safety

CAIRO - 10 March 2020: Prime Minister-designate of the new Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, pledged to work to achieve national reconciliation in Libya, adding "Libyans are one unit, one heart."

He stressed that Libya should be a single, undivided unit. “With unity, we will deliver Libya to safety.”

In a speech after the Libyan parliament granted confidence to the new government, Dabaiba further noted that many entitlements are waiting for the Libyan parliament to be discussed, calling for an end to the period of division that Libya has witnessed.

Dbeibeh's government won the parliament’s confidence on Wednesday by 132 votes.

Earlier, Speaker of Libya's House of Representative, Aguila Saleh, arrived at the parliament to resume the parliament session to grant confidence to the National Unity Government.

Saleh asserted that Prime Minister-designate of the new Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdel Hamid Al-Dbaiba can present the full formation of the government with no vacancies, and Dbaiba stated that he is ready to change the ministers on whom the parliament has reservations.

On February 6, 2020, the Libyan delegates at the UN-facilitated talks had chosen Dbaiba as transitional prime minister, along with a three-member presidency council, to govern the war-ravaged North African country until December elections, Al Arabiya news channel reported.
