Libyan lawmakers dismiss prime minister

Abushagur urges officials to name successor soon

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s Parliament ousted the country’s new prime minister in a no-confidence vote Sunday, the latest blow to hopes that political factions could agree on a government charged with restoring stability after last year’s civil war.

Mustafa Abushagur was Libya’s first elected prime minister after last year’s overthrow of dictator Moammar Khadafy that ended eight months of civil war.
