Denis Sassou-Nguesso

Denis Sassou-Nguesso is re-elected president of the Republic of Congo with 94.82% on an 84.65% turnout, the interior minister announced, extending his rule to 2031.

On 15 March 2026, Congo-Brazzaville held its presidential vote behind a nationwide telecoms and internet blackout, leaving the count unverifiable.

At 82, Denis Sassou-Nguesso campaigns for a final five-year term in Congo-Brazzaville’s March 2026 vote, amid poverty, a thin opposition and jailed rivals.

As Congo-Brazzaville heads to a March 15 vote, rights advocate Joe Washington Ebina calls Sassou-Nguesso’s expected fifth term a ‘non-event’ that ignores daily hardships.
