Former PM Zeidan casts his vote in Tripoli

Ex-Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has been shown casting his vote in the Libyan capital Tripoli:

63-year-old Zeidan fled the country in March after being sacked by parliament, but he has now returned to reassert his claim over the premiership. He has appeared on television to announce he still considers himself to be the country's rightful leader, dispute being dismissed for alleged corruption by the GNC.

In October last year Zeidan was briefly kidnapped by gunmen, who held him hostage for several hours at a Tripoli hotel. After his release Zeidan blamed the incident on his opponents, which emphasized political divisions that have only widened since then.
