]]> 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.

]]> A Libyan court’s sentenced Saif al Islam Gadaffai, the son of the country’s late dictator Muammar to death.
He was on trial with eight others charged with war crimes linked to the 2011 revolution in which his father died.
ends intro
Saif al Islam is the Gadaffi brother who had protracted dealings with South African officials who – like many others – pegged him as the man to succeed his father.
During his trial, along with dozens of other close associates of the deposed leader accused of suppressing protests during the uprising, he gave evidence via video link.
Saif al-Islam is being held by a former rebel group from the town of Zintan that refuses to release him.
Libya is effectively divided in two with Western power rejecting the Islamist faction in Tripoli and recognising the administration in Tobruk.
