By Miral Sabry Al AshryLibya has entered a new third round of two governments contesting with Misratan Fathi Bashagha as its choice to become the country’s new prime minister. Bashagha is a well-known figure with international actors he is involved in the country. Bashagha was elected from Misrata to the new Libyan HoR in June 2014, the last time national elections were held. Bashagha boycotted the HoR when its new speaker, Aguila Saleh Issa, moved it from Tripoli to Tobruk in the east, Saleh’s base. Bashagha’s re-emergence as the House of Representatives’ choice of prime minister, but Saleh’s all-time pursuit of a prime minister relied on his electoral bases in the east, nonetheless had its own foundation.
