The secretary-general expressed deep concern at the current severe political polarization in Libya which carries significant risks for Libya's hard-won stability, said the press office in a readout. The Libyan House of Representatives, the country's parliament, on Tuesday, granted confidence to a new government to replace the government led by Dbeibah. The House of Representatives withdrew confidence from Dbeibah's government in September 2021 and kept it as a caretaker government. Guterres on Wednesday voiced concern over Tuesday's vote in the House of Representatives. He expressed concern over reports that the vote fell short of the expected standards of transparency and procedures and included acts of intimidation prior to the session.
