Mohammed Magarief, a moderate Islamist and former opposition leader, was elected as the head of Libya's 200-member congress. The congress will name a prime minister, pass laws, and guide Libya to full parliamentary elections after drafting a new constitution. Magarief, who lived in exile since the 1980s, was a key figure in the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, an opposition movement against Gaddafi. The assembly's formation marks Libya's first peaceful transition of power, though recent violent incidents highlight ongoing instability.
