*Bashagha's premiership was disputed by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh.[1] | |
Fathi Ali Abdul Salam Bashagha (Arabic: فتحي علي عبد السلام باشآغا; born 20 August 1962), known simply as "Fathi Bashagha" or occasionally Fathi Ali Pasha, is a Libyan politician and the former interim prime minister of Government of National Stability.[2] He served as Minister of Interior from 2018 to 2021.
On 10 February 2022, Bashagha was selected as prime minister-designate by the eastern-based Libyan House of Representatives. However, GNU Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh rejected Bashagha's appointment as prime minister, stating that he will only hand over power after a national election.[3] Khalifa Haftar and his Libyan National Army welcomed Bashagha's appointment.[4]
On 16 May 2023, the Libyan eastern- based parliament suspended Bashagha and assigned his duties to the finance minister Osama Hammad.[5]
