Left: Abdul Hafez Ghoga.
Abdul Hafez Ghoga says he was resigning after a series of protests against the country's new rulers.
Al-Jazeera
"Abdul Hafez Ghoga, the deputy head of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) has submitted his resignation.
"My resignation is for the benefit of the nation and is required at this stage," he told Al Jazeera on Sunday.
"Unfortunately, the consensus has not continued to maintain the highest national interests. The atmosphere of deprivation and hatred has prevailed ... I do not want this atmosphere to continue and negatively affect the National Transitional Council and its performance," he said.
Ghoga, who also served as the official spokesman for the NTC, has come under increasing opposition for "opportunism" because of his belated defection from the government of the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Residents in Benghazi, the cradle of lasty year's uprising against Gaddafi, have been protesting for nearly two weeks, demanding more transparency and justice from the country's new leaders.
