TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya’s High State Council consultative body voted on Sunday to replace Khaled al-Meshri as leader with Mohammed Takala, adding new questions over the country’s political standoff.
Takala received 67 votes to Meshri’s 62 in a televised run-off in the chamber, with two abstentions. Meshri then congratulated Takala on his win.
