Libya’s interim Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbaiba is expected to exit the political scene before the end of May, according to a report published by the American news outlet Newsmax.
The report said that Dbaiba has lost much of the international support that once backed his leadership following his appointment in early 2021. That support was largely conditional on his pledge to organize national elections within the same year—an election that was repeatedly delayed and ultimately never held.
The article argues that this failure has significantly eroded both domestic and foreign confidence in Dbaiba’s government. It suggests that frustration with the lack of political progress has triggered growing pressure for a transition of power, with renewed momentum to restructure Libya’s executive authority.
Newsmax points to signs of intensified diplomatic and internal efforts aimed at reshaping Libya’s political landscape. These moves, the report claims, are accelerating expectations that Dbaiba’s exit may occur in the coming weeks, as stakeholders seek a more credible and unified path toward elections.
While no formal timeline has been confirmed by Libyan institutions, the report frames Dbaiba’s departure as increasingly likely, especially as calls for institutional reform and political renewal gain traction ahead of mid-year milestones.
