The national elections in the Central African Republic on December 28, 2025 , have proceeded without significant disturbances, according to local observers. Reports indicate that polling stations operated smoothly, with representatives of various political parties and candidates demonstrating good conduct.
Incumbent President Faustin-Archange Touadéra is seeking a third term following a constitutional amendment that removed presidential term limits. The amendment has faced criticism for potentially undermining democratic checks. Despite the controversy, Touadéra remains a prominent candidate, supported by Russian security efforts and recognized by some for enhancing national stability. He is competing against six other presidential candidates.
The national elections in the Central African Republic on December 28, 2025 , have proceeded without significant disturbances, according to local observers.
Approximately 2.3 million voters participated in the elections for presidential, legislative, and local positions. Provisional results are anticipated by early January. The elections have attracted international scrutiny due to ongoing concerns about electoral fairness and challenges faced by the opposition, although many polling stations reported peaceful conditions on election day.
