The media office of the yet-to-be-approved Government of National Unity (GNU) said the Prime Minister-elect Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah submitted a cabinet of 27 ministerial portfolios, 2 deputy prime ministers and 6 state ministers to be endorsed by the House of Representatives (HoR) in a Monday session in Sirte.
"We have balanced the cabinet formation between qualifications and geographical involvement so it represents all Libyans, taking into account the previous conflicts that left many Libyans feeling marginalized over the past years". Dbeibah said on Twitter.
He said he had kept the same number of current ministries with a limited modification, saying in order to integrate ministers and decrease their number, they should have more time, which he said he didn't have at all, let alone the funding needed for such a process.
Social media activists circulated a list of 27 ministers, 2 prime minister deputies and 6 state ministers, saying the names were the ones submitted by Dbeibah to HoR Speaker Aqila Saleh for a vote of confidence on Monday.
The media office of the GNU said, without commenting on the validity of the names, that the GNU prioritized work on providing services to Libyans, unifying state institutions and ending transitional phases so that Libyans can hold democratic elections.
