for instance Hadi himself could become a candidate and let people decide Yemen has a lot of political figures they could become candidate.
by the way who gave him the right to cancel the election and prolong his term because he didn't like the candidate.
by the way I answered you clearly you asked when Hadi asked to be president for life and I answered his action show that ,non of the other president for life in Africa or Asia officially said they want to be president for life ,they just grab the sit of power and rig the system so they can stay there ,exactly what hadi did.
Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi (‘Abdrabbuh Manṣūr Hādī;
Arabic: عبدربه منصور هادي
Yemeni pronunciation:
[ˈʕæbdˈrɑb.bu mænˈsˤuːr ˈhæːdi]; born 1 September 1945) is a Yemeni politician and former
Yemen Armed Forces field marshal. He has been the
President of Yemen since 27 February 2012, and was Vice President from 1994 to 2012.

Between 4 June and 23 September 2011, Hadi was the acting
President of Yemen while
Ali Abdullah Saleh was undergoing medical treatment in
Saudi Arabia following an attack on the presidential palace during the
2011 Yemeni uprising.
[3] On 23 November, he became Acting President again, after Saleh moved into a non-active role pending the
presidential election "in return for immunity from prosecution". Hadi was "expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days" while Saleh continued to serve as President in name only.
[4] Mansour Hadi was chosen as a president for a two-year transitional period on February 21, 2012, in an election in which he was the only candidate. In January 2014 his mandate was extended for another year.
[5] However, he remained in power after the expiration of his mandate.
[6]
On 22 January 2015, Hadi was forced to resign by the
Houthis. Subsequently, the Houthis and Saleh's supporters seized the presidential palace and placed him under house arrest. A month later, he escaped to his hometown of
Aden, rescinded his resignation, and denounced the
Houthi takeover as an unconstitutional
coup d'état. The Houthis named a
Revolutionary Committee to assume the powers of the presidency, as well as the
General People's Congress, Hadi's own political party.
[7] On 25 March 2015, after the beginning of the
Yemeni Civil War, Hadi fled Yemen in a boat as Houthi forces advanced on Aden.
[8] He arrived in
Riyadh the next day, as
Saudi Arabia began a
bombing campaign in support of his government.
[9] In September 2015, he returned to Aden as Saudi-backed government forces recaptured the city.
