Libya to hold first free election in decades



Libya is preparing for its' first free election in 60 years.

Millions of Libyans are registered to vote and must choose from the 1400 candidates who are running for a seat in the countries' 200 seat National Assembly.

The National Assembly will form a temporary government and write a constitution that will decide how the country's president is elected next year.

"Stuff hasn't become suddenly a lot better. That's just truth right now. But obviously we know it will get better because there still needs to be time for the elections to happen and for a new government to come and bring change," said Student Amin Siyala.

Voting will begin on Saturday.
