 The Electoral Commission says that candidates for Libya's presidential and legislative election slated for December 24 can start registering from Monday. The head of the commission, Imad al-Sahir, told reporters that this is the real start of the electoral process aimed at turning the page on a decade of violence in the North African country. All-rich Libya has been ripped apart by violence since the 2011 overthrow and killing of veteran leader Muammar Gaddafi in a NATO-backed uprising. The polls are parts of the UN-backed peace effort that have helped create a year of relative calm in the war-wrecked Libya following a cease-fire.
