The Popular Front for the Liberation of Libya (PFLL)[6] is a Gaddafi Loyalist militia and political party which was formed on 26 December 2016.[4]

In October 2017, the PFLL was defeated in clashes with the Tripoli Revolutionaries Brigade,[5] which led to the arrest of the military leader, Al-Mabrouk Ehnish on 16 October 2017[2].

In March 2018, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi announced his intention to run in the 2019 Libyan general election under the PFLL.[3]
