He pointed out that the members of the Forum took a decision in favor of Libya and its people, and that this decision is important for the peaceful, democratic and free change in the country.
Dabaiba revealed that within the framework of the decisions taken in the political dialogue, the government will be formed after 3 weeks, after which it will be presented for the approval of the Libyan Parliament.
In response to a question about the possibility of appointing figures from the previous government, he said, "It is possible that, as we will be a technocratic government, and whoever has proven his effectiveness, seriousness and strength in performance will be part of the government team."
