Prime Minister’s Experience
Zaidan was chosen for the position of Prime Minister of Libya by the General National Congress on October 14, 2012, after he obtained 93 votes, compared to 85 votes for his rival at the time, and he actually took power on November 14, after the conference approved the formation of his government and it was sworn in.
The relationship quickly changed between Zaidan and the conference, which was kidnapped on the tenth of October 2013 and for a period of hours, before the armed group released him, then the conference tried to withdraw confidence from him in several sessions, which were crowned with success on March 11, 2014, after 124 deputies voted from A total of 127, and the Minister of Defense at the time, Abdullah al-Thani, was assigned to run the business until a new prime minister was chosen.
