As this postponement loomed, Mr. Bachagha – one of western Libya’s most prominent presidential candidates – approached the rival camp by traveling to Benghazi. The ANL on Thursday welcomed the appointment of Mr. Bachagha as Prime Minister and affirmed support Parliament’s decision . The UN has indicated through its spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric that it will continue to support Mr. Dbeibah. Mr. Saleh is accused of breaching all the procedures to get Mr. Bachagha appointed. Many see today’s events in Libya – where a new prime minister has been fabricated in an attempt to shore up some political factions – as a fait accompli.
