Saif al-Islam Gadaffi is planning to run for the presidency in Libya next  year.

The man named by fallen dictator Muammar Gadaffi as his successor will release his election platform shortly.

Presidential elections in Libya next year is still on the United Nations wish list.

Released last June from six years in detention, Saif al Islam Gadaffi wants to be part of it.

His spokesman says Muammar Gadaffi’s second son will be a strong candidate because he has the support of the major tribes in Libya.

He’s calling for United Nations to help Libya transition from a compromise government to stability and order.

It’s unclear how the world organization will respond to this call from a man wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity allegedly committed while trying to keep his father in power.
