CAIRO, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Egypt voiced on Thursday its support for the Libyan House of Representatives, the Libyan parliament, which has elected a new prime minister. Earlier on Thursday, the Libyan parliament unanimously voted for Fathi Bashagha as the country's new prime minister, replacing Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said the Libyan parliament is the body entitled to "enact laws, grant legitimacy to the executive authority and exercise its oversight role over it." Egypt also called on all Libyan institutions and national forces to maintain internal stability and avoid violence or use of force that would ruin the current political efforts. But the scheduled general elections in Libya in later 2021 were indefinitely postponed due to the differences among the political rivals.
