Libyan Supreme Court Annuls Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteg's Election

The Libyan Supreme Court has ruled that the election of Ahmed Maiteg as prime minister by parliament last month was unconstitutional on Monday June 09,2014

Ahmed Maiteg, a 42-year-old businessman from Misrata, is not an Islamist but was elected with the support of Islamist blocs

Since the vote in May 2014, Libya has had two prime ministers as Abdullah al-Thani has not ceded power

Politicians are divided between various Islamist groups and liberals, while rival militias run different parts of the country.

Elections are due on June 25,2014 to replace the interim General National Congress, which has been acting as a parliament
