Libyan Parliament has expelled PM Fathi Bashagha
Libya’s political scene has been thrown into turmoil as the nation’s eastern-based parliament voted to remove Prime Minister Fathi Bashagha, referring him for investigation and appointing Finance Minister Osama Hamad as his replacement. The reasons for Bashagha’s ousting are unclear.

As a former interior minister, he was chosen over a year ago to rival Tripoli-based premier Abdul Hamid Dbeibah under a United Nations-brokered deal to create a power-sharing government and establish democracy in Libya.
Unfortunately, this rival administration ultimately proved ineffective. Parliament’s decision to remove Bashagha from his post represents the loss of an occasional ally of the military leader Khalifa Haftar, who in 2019 and 2020, conducted a campaign to take over the capital from a prior administration, and subsequently sought to run for president in 2021.
Despite these challenges, Bashagha remains a popular figure in Libyan politics, known for his commitment to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. He has been touted as a possible candidate for higher office, including the presidency, in any future Libyan elections.
