Abusahmain or Aqilah Saleh, the African Union got us twisted about Third Vice Chairperson

The African Union locked up its 26th session in numerous decisions to be forwarded through the 2016 schedule, but one of those crucial decisions was the appointment of Chairpersons for the AU President, Idriss Deby.
The AU announced Monday that among the appointed ones was Libya’s General National Congress President, Nuri Abusahmain, as the Third Chairperson.
However, a day later on Tuesday, the AU website changed the name of the Third Chairperson to Aqilah Saleh, to announce that the Third Chairperson is the President of the House of Representatives of Libya, thus leaving us all twisted to what the AU actually meant.
