Muammar Gaddafi's son likely to contest presidential elections: Report

Libya's former president Muammar Gaddafi's second oldest son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, is expected to run for Libya's presidential elections in 2018 and is likely to announce his plans soon. 

Saif was released in June this year, six years after former-president Gaddafi's ouster and



death. 

Saif was charged with war crimes and imprisoned for five years.

Saif, 45, is also been seen as a potential reformist successor to his father, the one who could probably help in bridging the gap between country's rival factions and settle the ongoing state of anarchy in the country.
