Abdurrahim Abdulhafiz El-Keib,[1][2] PhD, (Arabic: عبد الرحيم عبد الحفيظ الكيب; also transcribed Abdel Rahim AlKeeb, Abdul Raheem Al-Keeb, etc.;[3] 2 March 1950 – 21 April 2020) was a Libyan politician, professor of electrical engineering, and entrepreneur[4] who served as interim Prime Minister of Libya from 24 November 2011 to 14 November 2012. He was appointed to the position by the country's National Transitional Council[5] on the understanding that he would be replaced when the General National Congress was elected and took power. Power was handed to the Congress on 8 August 2012, and the assembly appointed El-Keib's successor Ali Zeidan in October 2012.[6]
