The head of the government appointed by the House of Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, called on the House of Representatives and the State Council to “accelerate the pace of dialogue in order to reach a constitutional basis and a unified government that leads the country to presidential and parliamentary elections and to restore national sovereignty.”
In a series of tweets on Saturday, on the occasion of the 71st anniversary of Libya’s independence, Bashagha appealed to “all Libyans to follow the example of the founding fathers in upholding the national interest above narrow interests, overcoming differences and moving towards comprehensive national reconciliation and building a modern civil state.”
