Comoros President Azali Assoumani, who came to power in 1999 through a coup and has won four elections in the Indian Ocean archipelago nation since 2002, has denied he intends to hand over power to his son. Assoumani said on Thursday in a speech to supporters on the island of Moheli: "I will place my son to replace me as head of the state and the party."
