Libya's parliamentary-appointed prime minister, Fathi Bachagha, announced on Thursday that he had completed the formation of his government, which will be sent to MPs for a vote of confidence. "The composition of the government is ready and will be transmitted to the House of Representatives today, Thursday," Fathi Bachagha's press office said in a statement. Already plagued by divisions between competing institutions in the east and west, Libya recently found itself with two rival prime ministers in Tripoli, after missing the crucial December election deadline. The parliament in the east appointed Fathi Bachagha on 10 February to replace Abdelhamid Dbeibah as head of the interim government. He had launched a diatribe against the parliament, saying that the "imprudent" decision to replace it "will inevitably lead to war".
