Young Libyans have mobilised for Saturday’s municipal elections, the first time many will vote in the fractured North African country where polls have been rare since Muammar Gaddafi’s 2011 overthrow.

“Elections are a new concept here,” said Radouane Erfida, 21, from Misrata, as he and other volunteers eagerly gave out leaflets and engaged with potential voters ahead of polling day.


“To help people accept and understand the process, we need awareness campaigns,” he told AFP.

The vast, oil-rich country of seven million people has struggled to recover from years of conflict after the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that put an end to four decades of rule under dictator Kadhafi.

Libya remains divided between a UN-recognised government based in the capital Tripoli and a rival administration in the east, backed by military strongman Khalifa Haftar.

Although being held in fewer than half of the country’s municipalities — 58 out of 142 — it is the first election in a decade to be held simultaneously in both eastern and western Libya.

Nearly 190,000 people are registered to vote in the areas where polling will take place.

In Misrata, Libya’s third-largest city , walls are covered with campaign posters of the candidates hoping to be elected.

“Your voice builds your municipality,” reads one placard put up by the High National Election Commission, which staged its own campaign to encourage a high turnout.
