Mohamed Said Fazul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohamed Said Fazul (b. 18 September 1960) has been president of the Comorian island of Mohéli since 19 May 2002.

He worked as a pharmacist and taught natural sciences at a Fomboni college until his nomination by President Azali Assoumani in March 2001 to be governor of Mohéli. He benefited from his incumbent position as island governor and the backing of Azali in beating his rival, Mohamed Hassanaly, in the second round of the elections for the presidency of Mohéli on 7 April 2002, although Hassanaly had received more votes in the first round.
