Prime Minister Hassan Diab said Saturday he will introduce a draft bill proposing early elections for the crisis-stricken country.

In a televised speech, Diab called on all political parties to put their disagreements aside and work together.

He said he is ready to stay in the post for two months to allow for politicians to work together on implementing structural reforms.

He added that he will propose early elections during a Cabinet session on Monday.
