Saif al-Islam Gaddafi the son of Libya's former strongman Muammar Gaddafi, has been excluded from running for president in the upcoming general election, a Libyan court ruled on Wednesday.
Source from the Libyan judiciary told several news outlet that the decision was arrived at as Gaddafi was handed a final court ruling over committing war crimes.
The source also said that Gaddafi is yet to submit an evident that the court ruling was annulled or dropped.
A Libyan armed group arrested Gaddafi and imprisoned in the Alzintan city, western Libya before placing him on trial before the Libyan judiciary a decade ago.
In 2011, the International Criminal Court (ICC) also issued an arrest warrant against Gaddafi on charges of committing crimes against humanity in Libya.
Libya’s presidential and parliamentary elections are scheduled for December 24 under an UN-sponsored agreement reached by Libyan political rivals during meetings in Tunisia on Nov. 15, 2020.
