On Wednesday, the Libyan Government of National Accord’s foreign minister, Mohamed Siala, said presidential election in Libya might be held in mid-2018.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the
second son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, will announce in coming days
his intention to run for president of Libya, the family spokesman, Basem
Hashimi Soul, told Sputnik Monday.
“Saif will soon announce
the nomination [of his own candidacy] for the election in Libya, this is
already a settled issue, no discussions about this are being conducted.
“He will announce this on
TV and all the media. He will decide on the date of the announcement in the
next few days,” Soul said.
NAN reports the civil war’s
aftermath and proliferation of armed groups led to violence and instability
across the country, which erupted into renewed civil war in 2014.
The ongoing crisis in Libya
has so far resulted in tens of thousands of casualties since the onset of
violence in early 2011.
