<br>
This is what I read from AfriNIC Policy Liaison:<br>
In regard to the nominee, Wijdane Goubi, kindly note that on the 5th<br>
of April 2021, AFRINIC has been informed by an email sent from the<br>
designated nominator on the nomination paper that the latter never<br>
provided its support to the said nomination.<br>
<br>
It was very obviously not the stated nominator who submitted the nomination.<br>
<br>
> It is not their fault.<br>
<br>
Can I ask who submitted the nomination..... ?<br>

I have not seen anywhere any limit to the number of candidates.<br>
There would have been one more, if you or someone (self-)nominated you.<br>
