Already plagued by divisions between rival administrations in the east and west, Libya has found itself with two rival prime ministers in Tripoli after missing a crucial deadline for December elections. The deputies also voted for a new political roadmap calling for presidential elections within 14 months. He in turn announced a new political roadmap which would begin with legislative elections "no later than June 24" -- the date marking the end of the political process sponsored by the UN. He was also tasked with organising presidential and legislative elections -- originally set to take place last December. In the meantime, his rival for the post of Prime Minister has until February 24 to form a government and submit it to parliament.
