Saif Gaddafi, the second son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is to announce his intention to run for president in the North African country.

He is to make the announcement according to Gaddafi’s family spokesperson Basem Hashimi Soul, in the coming days.

Foreign minister of the Libyan Government of National Accord’s Mohamed Siala, had said that presidential election in Libya might be held in mid-2018.

Basem Hashimi Soul told Sputnik on Monday that “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 added.
