Le pr\u00e9sident congolais Denis Sassou Nguesso, \u00e2g\u00e9 de 82 ans, a obtenu 95 % des suffrages lors d’une \u00e9lection qui prolonge son mandat, a annonc\u00e9 la Cour constitutionnelle samedi soir.<\/p>\n
L’\u00e9lection du 15 mars a permis \u00e0 Sassou Nguesso, qui dirige ce pays d’Afrique centrale riche en p\u00e9trole depuis quatre d\u00e9cennies, d’entamer un nouveau mandat de cinq ans.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Denis Sassou Nguesso a remport\u00e9 la majorit\u00e9 absolue et est \u00e9lu pr\u00e9sident avec 94,9 % des voix, pour un taux de participation de 65,9 % \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 le pr\u00e9sident de la Cour, Auguste Iloki, lors d’une audience publique.<\/p>\n
L’opposition a contest\u00e9 toutes les \u00e9lections remport\u00e9es par Sassou Nguesso.<\/p>\n
Dave Mafoula, l’un des six candidats qui se sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s contre lui, a formellement demand\u00e9 l’annulation de l’\u00e9lection, mais la Cour a rejet\u00e9 sa requ\u00eate.<\/p>\n
Sassou Nguesso a d’abord dirig\u00e9 le Congo-Brazzaville sous un syst\u00e8me de parti unique de 1979 \u00e0 1992, avant de perdre les premi\u00e8res \u00e9lections multipartites du pays. Il a renvers\u00e9 le vainqueur en 1997 lors d’une guerre civile.<\/p>\n
Depuis 2002, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9\u00e9lu cinq fois lors de scrutins que l’opposition a qualifi\u00e9s d’antid\u00e9mocratiques et de non transparents.<\/p>\n
Cet ancien colonel parachutiste est l’un des dirigeants africains rest\u00e9s le plus longtemps au pouvoir, avec Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo en Guin\u00e9e \u00e9quatoriale et Paul Biya au Cameroun.<\/p>\n
S’il peut se targuer d’avoir apport\u00e9 une certaine stabilit\u00e9 au pays, les organisations de d\u00e9fense des droits humains l’accusent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement de pers\u00e9cuter les militants de l’opposition.<\/p>\n
Deux candidats de l’opposition lors des \u00e9lections de 2016 purgent des peines de 20 ans de prison pour \u00ab atteinte \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure \u00bb.<\/p>\n
La Constitution interdit \u00e0 Sassou Nguesso de se repr\u00e9senter en 2031, \u00e0 l’issue de son cinqui\u00e8me mandat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
