Convening at its Midrand headquarters on Wednesday, the Pan-African Parliament finally elected its president — a year late. But not before the chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, gave the MPs a stern lecture.

Sources said Zimbabwean senator and chief, Fortune Charumbira, was elected unopposed behind closed doors after South Sudan withdrew its candidate — MP and former child soldier Albino Aboug — evidently at the behest of AU Commission chair Moussa Faki Mahamat, who presided over the elections.

The other regions disagreed, saying the PAP had never adopted the rotational principle. Chaos ensued and the elections were called off. From left: Amos Masondo, Julius Malema and Pemmy Majodina before the opening ceremony of the Pan-African Parliament ordinary session.
