Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, son of slain Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi, on Sunday indicated interest to run in the country’s December presidential polls.

A Statement from the country electoral commission states “Seif al-Islam Kadhafi submitted… his candidacy for the presidential election to the High National Electoral Commission office in the (southern) city of Sebha.”

It said he had completed “all the required legal conditions” and that he was also issued with a voter registration card for the Sebha district.

Libya’s first ever direct presidential poll, with a first round on December 24, is the climax of a process launched in 2020 by the United Nations to draw a line under years of violence since the revolt that toppled dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011.
