Gadhafi’s son announces candidacy for president of Libya

Cairo: The son and one-time heir apparent of late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi announced Sunday his candidacy for the country’s presidential election next month, Libya’s election agency said.
Seif al-Islam submitted his candidacy papers in the southern town of Sabah, the agency said in a statement.
Gadhafi’s son was captured by fighters late in 2011, the year when a popular uprising toppled Gadhafi after more than 40 years in power. Moammar Gadhafi was later killed amid the ensuing fighting that would turn into a civil war.
Seif al-Islam was released in June 2017 after more than five years in detention.
