Bazoum also blamed the opposition for bringing children to post-election protests where at least two people have been killed.
Bazoum belongs to the small tribe Awlad Suleiman, which exists in Chad and Libya and which in Niger is based near the southeastern border with Chad .
Niger’s President-elect Mohamed Bazoum has ruled out a power-sharing deal with the opposition and blamed it for bringing children from rural areas for post-election protests.
Governing party candidate Bazoum was declared the winner of the country’s presidential election runoff on Tuesday, setting off allegations of fraud by the opposition which also organised protests in which at least two people died and more than 400 were arrested.
