“I declare my sincere desire to hand over my duties to the next executive authority no later than the end of October,” Fayez al Sarraj said during a televised speech.
Sarraj will stay on as a caretaker through negotiations for a new Libyan government in Geneva in October.
Sarraj has been Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord since its installment in December 2015 as part of a United Nations-led political agreement. (ILKHA)
