happened he was freed from prison by supporters in protests off the october was parliamentary election an election that was made invalid because of widespread allegations of vote buying. spoke to supporters on the last day of his presidential campaign in the summer he became the country's acting leader when both the prime minister and president resigned amid protests up to the failed parliamentary poll. he called for presidential elections before stepping down as per the constitution so he could run for president himself he describes himself as a cutie is national list from a conservative ruled background. he was a member of parliament on the one of 3 presidents overthrown in revolutions over the last 30 years. despite his recent promises to crack down on corruption his
