Comoros to hold parliamentary elections January next year
Comoros will hold elections to its 33-seat parliament on Janueray 12, according to a decree, although opposition parties have said they will boycott the poll, Reuters reported.
The Indian Ocean archipelago, with a population of about 800,000 people, last had parliamentary polls in January 2020.
In January incumbent President Azali Assoumani was re-elected for another five-year term, but the opposition rejected the results, alleging instances of ballot stuffing and of voting being ended before the official closing time.
The government denied the claims.
Assoumani's opponents accuse him of authoritarian excesses and suspect him of wanting to prepare his eldest son, Nour El-fath, to replace him in 2029 when his current term ends.
Assoumani has been ruling Comoros since 1999 when he came to power through a coup. He has since won three elections.
