The General National Congress, based in western Libya and backed by various militias with some support from Qatar and Turkey,[109][110][111][112] initially accepted the results of the 2014 election, but rejected them after the Supreme Constitutional Court nullified an amendment regarding the roadmap for Libya's transition and HoR elections.[13] The House of Representatives (or Council of Deputies) is in control of eastern and central Libya and has the loyalty of the Libyan National Army, and has been supported by airstrikes by Egypt and the UAE.[109] Due to controversy about constitutional amendments, HoR refused to take office from GNC in Tripoli,[113] which was controlled by armed islamist groups from Misrata.
