Campaigning for Libya's first
national election in a generation kicked off ahead of July 7 polls to choose an
national assembly which will re-draw the autocratic system of rule put in place
by ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi. In a statement published on its website on
Monday, Libya's electoral commission said candidates will have 18 days to
campaign, from June 18 until July 5, with 2,501 independents and 1,206
political association candidates eligible to stand. Al Jazeera's Omar Al
Saleh met some of the main candidates in Tripoli.
