Yesterday, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, 49, submitted his candidacy papers for the presidency of Libya, and submitted his candidacy documents to the electoral management office in the city of Sabha (south), completing the legal justifications, and the Electoral Commission in Libya announced its acceptance of his candidacy papers.
The rules for conducting these elections remain a matter of contention between rival Libyan factions, and the legal status of Saif al-Islam remains a matter of debate. He is on death row in Libya for war crimes and is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
Saif al-Islam is the son of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who was revolted by the Libyans in 2011, and was killed in Sirte after spending 4 decades in power.
