Libya’s unrecognized Parliament has dismissed 10 lawmakers who signed a UN-brokered deal to set up a national unity government, members said.
First deputy head of the Tripoli-based General National Congress, Awad Mohammed Abdul-Sadiq, told a news conference the GNC “sacked some of the members who signed” the December agreement in Morocco.
Those parliamentarians were not “authorized” to ratify the deal and were excluded from the GNC because they “violated the (2011) constitution” and their pledge to respect the charter, he added.
A spokesman told AFP the decision affected 10 parliamentarians, including GNC Vice-President Saleh El-Makhzoum.
Libya has had two rival administrations, with the recognized authorities based in the country’s far east and a militia-backed authority in Tripoli since the summer of 2014.
Libya has been in chaos since the 2011 ouster of longtime dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
