A court in the southern province of Sabha ruled in favor of Seif al-Islam Qaddafi, Libyan media outlets reported. It remains unclear whether any further legal challenges could be made to Seif al-Islam Qaddafi's candidacy. The elections come after years of U.N.-led attempts to usher in a more democratic future and end the country’s civil war.

The oil-rich North African county is currently governed by an interim government that was elected by Libyan delegates after U.N.-led talks in Geneva in February.
