    Dbeibah opposes Parliament statements. 

Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibah said on Friday that the parliament is attempting to forcefully enter Tripoli by selecting a new government. 

Dbeibah considered that only the Presidential Council has the "right to change the national unity government" in accordance with the road map in Geneva, stressing that it is only committed to handing over power to an elected party of the Libyan people.

Concerning the assassination attempt, Dbeibah said that the assassination was not planned and that two hitmen were hired to conduct it.

Yesterday, the media announced that Dbeibah survived an assassination attempt in the country's capital, Tripoli.

The Libyan Prime Minister indicated that Speaker of the House, Aguila Saleh, asked him to withdraw from the presidential elections, in exchange for him remaining prime minister for a longer period.

He considered that the Speaker of Parliament "has a problem with me since he lost his list at the Geneva Forum, and did not accept the loss."

Yesterday, the Libyan House of Representatives voted unanimously to choose Fathi Bashagha as prime minister of the new government, replacing Dbeibah.

It is noteworthy that the United Nations announced, after the parliament selected Bashagha as prime minister, its continued support for Abdel Hamid Dbeibah as PM of Libya, stressing that “its position has not changed regarding Abdel Hamid Dbeibah being the current head of the Libyan government, and it is conducting continuous consultations with the Libyans on this matter.”

Earlier, Dbeibah stressed the need for a constitution in the country before holding presidential and parliamentary elections, noting that there has been no constitution in Libya since the late President Muammar Al-Gaddafi abolished it in 1969.

A state of uncertainty prevails in Libya regarding the country's political process, as the presidential and parliamentary elections were postponed by the High Electoral Commission.

No new date has been agreed upon for holding presidential and parliamentary elections, while the international community and the UN mission believe that the only way to resolve the Libyan crisis is for the elections to be held.
