Ahmed Omar Maiteeg is a Libyan businessman and politician originally from Misrata,who was elected Prime Minister of Libya in May 2014. He was appointed head of the transitional government,and asked to form his cabinet and present it to the GNC for a confidence vote within 15 days.
From 2014 to 2020,a multilateral civil war was fought in Libya between a number of armed groups,but mainly the House of Representatives (HoR) and the Government of National Accord.
The Libyan House of Representatives is the legislature of Libya resulting from the 2014 Libyan parliamentary election,which had an 18% turnout. On 4 August 2014,in the course of the progressing August 2014 Islamist coup in the capital Tripoli in the context of the Libyan Civil War,the House of Representatives relocated itself to Tobruk in the far east of Libya. Several HoR sessions were held in Tripoli in May 2019 while Tripoli was under armed attack,electing an Interim Speaker for 45 days. Between 2014 and 2021,the House of Representatives supported the Tobruk-based government led by Abdullah al-Thani before supporting the incumbent Government of National Unity led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh. In September 2021,the House of Representatives passed a no-confidence motion against the interim GNU government and later appointed a rival Government of National Stability (GNS).
The Government of National Accord was an interim government for Libya that was formed under the terms of the Libyan Political Agreement,a United Nations–led initiative,signed on 17 December 2015. The agreement was unanimously endorsed by the United Nations Security Council,which welcomed the formation of a Presidency Council for Libya and recognized the Government of National Accord as the sole legitimate executive authority in Libya. On 31 December 2015,Chairman of the Libyan House of Representatives,Aguila Saleh Issa declared his support for the Libyan Political Agreement. The General National Congress has criticized the GNA on multiple fronts as biased in favor of its rival parliament the House of Representatives.
The Libyan presidential election had originally been planned for 10 December 2018,but was delayed due to Khalifa Haftar's Western Libya campaign. The election was thereafter scheduled to be held on 24 December 2021 but was indefinitely postponed after the head of the High National Election Commission (HNEC) ordered the dissolution of the electoral committees nationwide.
