Informal Poll Suggests Libyans Favor Gaddafi's Daughter as Future Leader, TV Report Says

An informal poll reported on television suggests a significant portion of the Libyan public would favor Muammar Gaddafi's daughter as a future leader of the country, though organizers were careful to stress the survey carried no official standing.

Organizers of the poll emphasized that it had been neither an election nor a referendum, framing it instead as an informal gauge of public sentiment rather than any binding or officially sanctioned process.

Libya has remained politically fragmented since the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi's government, with competing factions and administrations continuing to vie for authority in different parts of the country in the years since.

The report does not specify which methodology was used to conduct the poll, its sample size, or which regions of Libya were included, limiting the ability to assess how representative the findings might be of broader public opinion.

No response from rival Libyan political factions or international observers regarding the poll's findings has been reported.
