On Thursday, the Libyan parliament voted to elect Fathi Bashagha, who served as interior minister in the Government of National Accord, as the new prime minister. "The Secretary-General calls on all parties and institutions to continue to ensure that such critical decisions are taken in a transparent and consensual manner," Dujarric said. "The Secretary-General further calls on all parties to continue to preserve stability in Libya as a top priority." On Monday, the Libyan parliament voted for a roadmap that provides for a general election within 14 months after an amendment to the constitutional declaration is adopted. Libya ceased to be a united country in 2011 de facto after its leader Muammar Gaddafi was ousted and assassinated.
