Libya’s former influential interior minister in the GNA government Fathi Bashagha registered on Thursday in Libya’s Dec. 24 presidential election.

He joined on Thursday a group of candidates in the candidacy for the high-stakes elections that seeks to bring about Libya’s first elected government since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.

Candidates include warlord Khalifa Haftar, son of Gaddafi, Said al-Islam Ghaddafi, and speaker of the eastern Parliamanet Aguila Saleh.

Libya’s December 24 elections are a key element of an UN-brokered peace process to end the conflict which ravaged the North African country since the ousting of former leader Muammar Gaddafi.
