On Wednesday, the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdul Hamid al-Dabaiba, said that his new cabinet is set to take the constitutional oath next Monday at the House of Representative's headquarters in Benghazi.
Earlier today, Libya's parliament voted to approve a unity government to lead the war-ravaged North African nation to December elections, a key step towards ending a decade of chaos.
In a tweet, Dbaiba said that the next session will be dedicated to approving the government's budget by the MPs in Tripoli.
He also stressed that the ministers in his proposed government will "serve all of Libya," not just the cities where they come from.
"We must live to the responsibility of achieving the goal of serving our country, and not focus on just the cities or areas of origins of the senior government officials," Dabaiba said.
Last month, Dabaiba presented a list of ministers in his cabinet to the House of Representatives, saying that it would be a government of "technocrats and professionals" representing all Libyans.
On Monday, he called on the House of Representatives to approve the new government.
The UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) recently selected a new executive authority for the country.
The new authority's main task is to prepare the country for the upcoming general elections scheduled for Dec. 24, 2021, as agreed by the LPDF.
