A relative of Fidel and Raúl Castro has emerged as a potential contender to lead Cuba after President Miguel Díaz-Canel completes his mandated two terms in 2028, according to a report by Spanish outlet ABC.
Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, a vice prime minister in the current administration and great-nephew of the Castro brothers, was appointed in December as a deputy to Cuba's National Assembly of People's Power, a move that satisfies the sole formal requirement to be eligible for the presidency. Under Cuba's system, the president is chosen by the National Assembly from among its members.
