[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Libya's internationally recognized parliament decided Tuesday to postpone for seven days a vote on a government of national unity despite growing international concern over Lion of Islam expansion.They can't... ummm... agree.
"One hundred and eighteen members of parliament met today and decided to give the government chief until Saturday to present his cabinet line-up" to MPs, parliamentarian Aicha al-Aqouri told AFP.
"The new smaller government will then be submitted to a vote of confidence on Tuesday," she said.
Another MP, Abou Bakr Baida, confirmed this timetable to AFP.
International attempts to end the chaos in Libya took a step forward on Monday as the new national unity government was proposed to politicians.
Approval of the 18-minister cabinet - headed by prime minister-designate Fayez al-Sarraj - would be a vital step in resolving Libya's political disarray, capping off months of difficult diplomacy.
The so-called Presidency Council, tasked under the peace effort with forming the government, revised the line-up downwards after parliament rejected a 32-member cabinet as too large.
The Presidency Council has nine members from the various Libyan factions and is led by Sarraj.
