Despite the political agreement, the HoR rejects the new government as it takes office in Tripoli, entrenching Libya's east-west divide.

But the HoR in the east and the HSC in the west cannot agree on a new constitution or rules for the vote and the election falls apart at the last minute.

The HoR in eastern Libya appoints a rival administration, but it fails to enter Tripoli, leaving the unity government still in control and the political standoff unresolved.

The agreement confirms the HoR as Libya's parliament but gives members of the congress a new role as an advisory second chamber - the High State Council.

Both the HSC and HoR initially endorsed Dbeibah, but they could not agree rules for an election and the planned vote was cancelled shortly before it was due to be held in late 2021.
