He has been running a propaganda campaign for years now, and denying any opposition any output into the media. All orchestrated to make sure he was the ONLY politician with any voice or presence, so the de facto President-in-waiting. Why else would he have personally rigged the law to allow a further presidential reign for himself?

You could almost see the strings on his puppet president.
