The Libyan House of Representatives (HoR) gave confidence Wednesday to the Government of National Unity (GNU) of Prime Minister Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah with a majority vote of 132 members out of 133 attending ones.

The endorsement came in a third-day session of the HoR in Sirte after two days of deliberations on the names of GNU's cabinet.

The Speaker of the HoR, Aqila Saleh, said the mandate of the GNU will end on December 24, while HoR spokesman Abdullah Bliheeq said out of the 133 HoR members, one member abstained from voting to give confidence to the GNU.
