Earlier, several media outlets reported that Comoros' President Azali Assoumani had announced in front of an audience that he intends to hand over power to his son after the expiration of his mandate in 2029.
The Comoros government has denied claims that President Azali Assoumani intends to hand over power to his son, Nour al-Fath, refuting what it called a "deliberately erroneous interpretation" of his January 23 speech.
Beit-Salam clarified that the president's reference to "a child" succeeding him was a common Comorian term for any citizen, not necessarily his own child.
