Indian Ocean island nation of Comoros votes for president in Africa's first election of 2024
The Indian Ocean island nation of Comoros voted Sunday for president in Africa's first national election of 2024. Incumbent President Azali Assoumani, a former military officer, is expected to win a fourth term despite criticism he has become increasingly authoritarian and cracked down on his opponents. Five opposition candidates stood against Assoumani while other opposition parties have called for a boycott, accusing the national electoral commission of bias.
