 As Libya approaches its December elections, the country's former Interior Minister Fatih Basharga, who is a probable candidate, won the government not to delay the vote. The general election is set for December 24th, the 70th anniversary of Libya's Declaration of Independence. The vote is crucial as the country seeks a return to peace and security, but there are attempts to delay the polls. It is clear that the present government would prefer not to have elections, but this is a commitment which has to be brought to completion, 58-year-old Basharga told AFP. Basharga left the government in March but is still an influential figure. He did not explicitly confirm that he has plans to run for the presidency. He also said that Europe is responsible for the chaos that ensued after 2011 when the West intervened to help end Gaddafi's four-decade rule.
