Central African Republic President Faustin-Archange Touadera won a third term in the December 28 election, according to provisional results announced on January 5, 2026. Touadera secured 76.15 percent of the vote, while former Prime Ministers Anicet-Georges Dologuele and Henri-Marie Dondra received 14.66 percent and 3.19 percent, respectively. Voter turnout was 52.42 percent. Touadera sought a third term after a 2023 constitutional referendum removed presidential term limits. The main opposition coalition boycotted the election, alleging it would not be fair, and both Dologuele and Dondra have denounced the election as fraudulent. The Constitutional Court has until January 20 to rule on any challenges and declare the final results.
