REPUBLIC OF CONGO: BEYOND THE MARCH ELECTIONS, THE REAL CHALLENGE LOOMS

   Thu, 25 March 2021

The disputed March presidential elections are unlikely to be successfully challenged in the courts and any opposition protests are expected to remain localised and sporadic. In the longer term, Congo’s political stability faces a challenge from anticipated unrest posed by deteriorating public discontent over the government’s coronavirus response, weak economic prospects, and a declining oil sector, as well as mounting concerns over state corruption and sovereign debt affordability.
