Ahmed Omar Maiteeg (Arabic: أحمد عمر معيتيق) is a Libyan businessman and politician originally from Misrata, who was elected Prime Minister of Libya in May 2014.[3] He was appointed head of the transitional government, and asked to form his cabinet and present it to the GNC (the General National Congress) for a confidence vote within 15 days.
The appointment made the then-42-year-old businessman Libya's youngest and fifth premier since long-time autocrat Muammar Gaddafi was toppled and killed in a 2011 uprising. His election as prime minister took place under disputed circumstances. The Justice Ministry decided on 29 May that Maiteeg was not the Prime Minister due to voting procedural issue occurred when the First Deputy of GNC left the session without valid reason. The Libyan Supreme Court was expected to issue a verdict on 5 June 2014 regarding the election of Maiteeq,[4] although it indicated on that day that it believed that the appointment of Maiteeq was invalid, the court stated that appeals should be heard and delayed a final ruling until 9 June.[5] The court ruled on 9 June that Maiteeq appointment was invalid; Abdullah al-Thani is expected to stay on as prime minister.[6] Maiteeq submitted his resignation voluntarily in same day.[7]
He was later nominated in late 2015 to be a member of the presidential council and deputy prime minister in the newly formed Government of National Accord (GNA). The Government of National Accord (Arabic: حكومة الوفاق الوطني) was an interim government for Libya that was formed under the terms of the Libyan Political Agreement, a United Nations–led initiative, signed on 17 December 2015 in Skhirat, Morocco. In March 2016, he became Deputy Prime minister[8] and vice-president of the Presidential Council.[9]
In 2017, he was elected to be the Chairman of the Council of the Arab Youth and Sports Ministers. Additionally, he is an active member of the Libyan business council that is working towards more effective role for the private sector in the development of the Libyan economy.[10]
His appointment ended upon the formation of The Government of National Unity (Arabic: حكومة الوحدة الوطنية, Hukumat al Wahdat al Watania) that was formed on 10 March 2021 as a result of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum on 5 February 2021 with the aim to unify the rival Government of National Accord based in Tripoli and the Second Al-Thani Cabinet based in Tobruk.
