The plan would include a "constitutional amendment" which would allow the rival Tobruk-based parliament to take part in overseeing the work of a possible national consensus government.

Libya's Tripoli-based parliament will propose a plan within 48 hours with the aim of resolving the Libyan conflict, a member of the assembly said on Sunday.

"The General National Congress on Tuesday will present a plan to resolve the Libyan crisis, entailing some concessions," MP Mohamed Maazab told Anadolu Agency on Sunday.

Maazab added that the plan would include a "constitutional amendment" which would allow the rival Tobruk-based parliament to take part in overseeing the work of a possible national consensus government.

The lawmaker went on to say that UN envoys in Libya, led by Bernardino Leon, have not contacted members of the Tripoli-based parliament before scheduling a fresh round of talks on June 8.

The sharp divisions have yielded two rival seats of government, each of which has its own institutions.

Two assemblies currently vie for legislative authority: the Tobruk-based House of Representatives and the General National Congress, which – even though its mandate ended last year – continues to convene in capital Tripoli.
