President Denis Sassou Nguesso, who has ruled Congo-Brazzaville for over 40 years, has launched his campaign for yet another term in the upcoming March 15 presidential election.
At 82 years old, Sassou Nguesso claims he is preparing the country for a new generation of leaders, but his continued bid for power has sparked skepticism and concerns about political stagnation. The election features seven candidates, but the incumbent's dominance and promises to strengthen defense and security remain central themes. Despite public fatigue and the threat of record voter abstention, Sassou Nguesso's rallies draw large crowds, highlighting the deep divisions over the country's political future.
The campaign is marked by debates over leadership longevity, democratic renewal, and the prospects for genuine change.
