The Board of Directors is set to elect the new executive president in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, in a process that sets out a number of requirements and procedures to ensure the integrity of candidates and transparency of the election. Each country may nominate a candidate, if it so wishes, who must be a national of one of CAF’s member countries.

Board members may finalize the nominations they deem suitable for office until June 15, and will then arrange a meeting to conduct formal interviews with each of the candidates.

The election of the executive president will take place at a subsequent Board meeting, originally scheduled for July 5. The executive president will serve for a 5-year term, and may be re-elected once for an additional 5 years.
