UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for stability in Libya after the country's east-based parliament named a new prime minister, his spokesman said Friday. Guterres' appeal seems to reflect a more neutral position than the U.N.’s initial support for the current interim prime minister based in the capital, Tripoli, in western Libya. Guterres “takes note” of Thursday's vote in the House of Representatives in Tobruk to designate a new prime minister,” Dujarric said. “There’s a prime minister, currently, Mr. Dbeibah," Dujarric said. ___Associated Press writer Adel Omran in Tripoli, Libya, contributed to this report.
