TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's parliament said on Thursday it will hold a session next week in which it is likely to vote on confirming a new interim government though the incumbent administration has vowed it will not hand over power.

A year after a unity government was installed in Tripoli and two months after a scheduled election was cancelled amid arguments over the rules, the dispute over how to move forward threatens to plunge Libya back into division.
