Libya's recognized parliament rejects U.N. proposal
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A majority of politicians in Libya's internationally recognized parliament on Monday rejected a U.N. peace deal and a proposal for a national unity government, one of them said.

MP Ali Tekbali said the decision was taken during a session of the parliament but that no vote took place.

"A majority of politicians decided to reject the (U.N.) proposals," Tekbali told AFP.

"No voting took place," he said "since the majority of the members have rejected the U.N. suggestions".

The official Lana news agency also reported that a "majority of politicians have announced their rejection of the proposals made by U.N. envoy Bernardino Leon".

Libya has had two administrations since August 2014, when a militia alliance that includes Islamists overran the capital, forcing the internationally recognized government to take refuge in Tobruk in the east.

U.N. envoy Leon announced on October 9 proposals for a unity government after months of negotiations.
