The Mejlis approved a motion proposed by Prime Minister Hasan Çakar to declare support for the Government of National Accord in Libya, by 5 in support to 1 opposition (and 1 absent). The vote was simply held on a motion declaring support and stipulating little else, as it was not part of a proposed act.
The Government of National Accord is the United Nations-recognised government of Libya and is currently fighting the Libyan National Army led by Khalifa Haftar in the Second Libyan Civil War, which broke out after the overthrow of Muammar Gadaffi's government following the first civil war in the country and the collapse of the subsequent transitional government. The Government of National Accord is also supported by Turkey, Qatar and Italy, while Haftar's forces have been supported by Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, France, Russia, Belarus, Chad, Israel, Greece and Cyprus.
The decision to support the Government of National Accord is controversial, as Deputy-Prime Minsiter Drakonov has declared his preference for Haftar's forces and the motion was opposed by Shady Morsi of the Northern League in the Mejlis.
