Tripoli: Candidacy registration for Libya’s long-awaited presidential and parliamentary elections will start on Monday, an electoral official has said. The elections are part of a United Nations-backed plan to end a decade of chaos in Libya. The head of the Libyan electoral commission, Emad al-Sayeh, said on Sunday that registration for running in the presidential election would open Monday and continue until November 22. Parliamentary hopefuls will have from Monday until December 7 to apply, al-Sayeh told a press conference in the capital Tripoli.The parliamentary and presidential elections were originally scheduled to be held on the same day, on December 24.
