80-yr-old Central Guinea’s president Teodoro Obiang set to run for 6th term.

The world’s longest-standing pioneer, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Central Guinea, will campaign for office for the 6th term in the impending November races. His child and VP, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, otherwise called Teodorin, made the declaration in an explanation on Friday, September 22.

The 80-year-old president’s system started when he snatched power in a 1979 upset and has gone on for 43 years at this point. “Due to his allure, his administration, and his political experience”, the decision party collectively picked Obiang as its possibility for the November 20 survey, Obiang Mangue said.

The Progressive faction of Tropical Guinea (PDGE) holds 99 of the 100 seats in the active lower place of parliament and each of the 70 of the senate seats. Yet, it had not been clear who might be named as the party’s up-and-comer on the official voting form. No other applicant has so far been announced.
