利比亞國民議會推選梅加里夫擔任總統

Libya's new nationAl assembly has elected former opposition leader Mohammed el-Megarif as its president.

Mr. Megarif received 113 votes from the 200-member Congress, defeating independent Ali Zidan, who won 85.

The vote late Thursday came just one day after Libya's transitional council handed power to the assembly, which was elected last month in the nation's first free election in 60 years.

Mr. Megarif was the leader of Libya's oldest opposition movement, the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, which tried several times to end the 42-year rule of late leader Moammar Gadhafi.

After living in exile since the 1980s, Mr. Megarif returned to Libya following the revolution last year that ousted Gadhafi.

Mr. Megarif, now head of the National Front party, will steer the nation to full parliamentary elections after a new constitution is drafted.利比亞的新國民議會推選前反對派領袖穆罕默德·埃爾·梅加里夫擔任總統。

在共有200個議席的國民議會的表決中，梅加里夫獲得113票，擊敗獨立人士齊丹。齊丹獲得85票。

在利比亞國民議會星期四晚間表決的一天前，利比亞過渡委員會將權力轉交國民議會。利比亞上個月舉行了60年來的首次自由選舉，國民議會由此產生。

梅加里夫是利比亞成立最早的反對派組織拯救利比亞全國陣線的領袖，該組織曾數次試圖結束卡扎菲的42年統治。

梅加里夫自上世紀80年代以來長期流亡國外，去年爆發反抗卡扎菲的革命後，他返回利比亞。

梅加里夫現在是全國陣線黨領袖。利比亞新憲法草擬完畢後，梅加里夫將負責籌備舉行議會全面選舉。
