Armed men attacked a General National Congress (GNC) vote for a replacement prime minister, forcing the process to be delayed.

The General National Congress (GNC) is set to choose a new premier today, with Abdullah al-Thanay planning to stand down.

The government has given preliminary approval for LD50m ($40m) in funding for Libyan families who were forced to move to Tunisia and Egypt during the 2011 conflict.

In response to local demands, the government has created a new administrative division in north-west Libya.

The body tasked with drafting Libya's new constitution held its first meeting, electing Ali al-Tarhouni as the head of the 47-member committee.

The council has called for an end to anti-government protests and strikes, which began over a week ago and have severely affected education and transport services.

Interim prime minister Abdullah al-Thanay says he will not form a new cabinet, claiming he and his family were attacked, but plans to stay in his role until a replacement is found.

Mohammed Abdulaziz says he has "taken it upon himself" to try to restore the Senussi monarchy, and has advocated establishing alliances with militias until the army and police forces are fully developed.

Anti-government protesters blocked roads and vandalised the Zawiya Local Council building before setting it alight.

Libya's caretaker government will resign if its powers are not extended, says the spokesman of the General National Congress (GNC).

The General National Congress (GNC) recently approved a new elections law, paving the way for an early poll for the 200-member assembly.

The General National Congress (GNC) has agreed to extend the term of the interim prime minister Abdullah al-Thanay, who will remain in his role for another fortnight.

Former prime minister Ali Zeidan claims the General National Congress (GNC) vote against him was a “falsification” and did not reach the required quorum.

The General National Congress (GNC) has passed a no-confidence vote against prime minister Ali Zeidan, who has reportedly left Libya for an unnamed European country.

The national assembly is set to vote on amendments to Libya's political roadmap put forward by the so-called "February Committee" last week.
