I thought Saif al-Islam had always been one of the survivors of the war, and it was a bunch of his younger siblings who died. IIRC it was Mutassim, Gaddafi's fourth son, who got his throat slit by the rebels after the same battle that their father was killed in; and another Saif, Saif al-Arab, who died in a NATO airstrike. (Perhaps that's where any confusion over which Saif perished might have arisen)
Anyway, I find it very difficult to imagine this Saif, or anyone else, doing worse than the warlords who have torn Libya to shreds over the past decade if he should be elected at this year's end. Even an empty box would do less harm going forward.
