Tripoli, 30 October:
Prime Minister-elect Ali Zeidan has submitted his government to the General National Congress for approval.
There are 32 members of the proposed government, not including Zidan, and Congress will vote on the names shortly. Speaking during a break in session a short while ago, Congressmen seemed broadly satisfied with the names, although admitting that some on the list were unfamiliar.
Two of the names on the list are women, the ministers of tourism and social affairs. There are also special ministers for the Injured and GNC affairs.
Unlike with the proposed government of Mustafa Abushagur, where each of the names were to have been voted on individually, this time members have agreed to vote on the government as a whole. It is believed that this time the government will pass.
