Libya's Supreme Council elects new leader, causing political uncertainty
Libya's Supreme Council of State elected a new leader on Sunday, in a development that could further fracture a country already split between two rival administrations. Mr Takala will take over from former head Khaled El-Meshri, a powerful figure who had been key in negotiations over the country's election laws. The final count was 67 to 62 in favour of Mr Takala. The introduction of a new leader at the helm of a key political institution could add more uncertainty to the country's already deeply divided politics. It is unclear what positions Mr Takala, a politician from the city of Khoms and member of the council since it was formed in 2016, will take on key political issues.
