 Republic of Congo's top court confirms Sassou Nguesso’s fifth term win


The Republic of Congo's constitutional court has confirmed President Denis Sassou Nguesso’s victory in the recent election, granting the 82-year-old leader a fifth term with 94.90% of the vote.


“The President Denis Sassou Nguesso is elected with 94.90% of the vote, representing an absolute majority,” said Auguste Iloki, president of the constitutional Court.


Provisional results announced 17 March by Interior Minister Raymond Zephirin Mboulou had already placed Sassou-Nguesso in the lead with 94.82% of the vote.


Six other candidates challenged the 82-year-old for the top job in the Central African country that boasts one of the largest oil reserves in sub-Saharan Africa.


Longest-serving leaders


Two of his challengers had rejected the provisional results last week. One of them, Uphrem Mafoula, had filed an appeal with the constitutional court seeking to annul the election. The constitutional court on Saturday rejected the appeal.


Sassou Nguesso is the third-longest-serving African president, only behind Cameroon ’s Paul Biya and Equatorial Guinea ’s Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
