Five experts are set to compete for the presidency of the African Development Bank (AfDB), promising a tough contest to replace Akinwumi Adesina when elections open in May.
A list published on Friday showed that former Senegalese Planning Minister Amadou Hott, Zambian economist Samuel Munzele Maimbo, Mauritanian development banker Sidi Ould Tah, Chad’s central banker Abbas Mahamat Tolli and Bajabulile Swazi Tshabalala, a South African corporate captain who served as Vice-President of the AfDB are due to contest.
