Congress Votes to Exclude its Members from Standing for PM

The latest from Libya Herald concerning how procedural issues are being addressed by the GNC.  Today's choice to select the PM from outside of the GNC's membership was expected and opens the door for the selection of a candidate who has already served in the NTC's cabinet such as AbuShagur -- Congress Votes to Exclude its Members from Standing for PM.The National Congress has voted overwhelmingly in favour of a motion that disbars any of its members from holding the position of prime minister in the next government.With none of the main contenders for the prime minister’s job currently members of the Congress, today’s decision is not believed to have significantly altered the dynamics of who will be elected to the post. The two names most commonly cited as the front-runners for the prime ministership are Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagur and Electricity Minister Awad Barasi.
