(From L) Mozambican President Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of African Development Bank (ADB) Rwandan Donald Kaberuka, Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, Beninese President Thomas Boni Yayi and Nigerian President Mahamadou Issoufou pose during the annual meeting of the African Development Bank (ADB) on May 26, 2015 in Abidjan. Eight candidates are vying to become the next head of the strategic African Development Bank as the continent is undergoing an economic transformation. With 80 ADB shareholders -- 54 African states and 26 non-African countries -- set to vote on May 28, 2015, it is difficult to predict who will succeed Rwandan Donald Kaberuka, bank chief for two consecutive terms since 2005.
