The final results will be confirmed by the Constitutional Court in mid-January.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts credit Touad\u00e9ra\u2019s victory to his efforts to restore peace and security in a country long plagued by armed groups and civil conflict. These efforts were bolstered by support from Rwandan and Russian forces, which helped the government regain control over much of the territory.<\/p>\n<p>Following the pacification of key armed factions, Touad\u00e9ra\u2019s administration negotiated peace agreements aimed at ending hostilities and promoting collaboration on national development projects.<\/p>\n<p>During his campaign, Touad\u00e9ra highlighted that while his nine years in office had brought significant progress, challenges remained that he aimed to address in a third term. The election outcome suggests that a majority of citizens continue to place their confidence in his leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Touad\u00e9ra has been in power since March 2016. He was permitted to run for a third term following a constitutional amendment in 2023, which was upheld by the Supreme Court in November 2025.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-100287 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/touade-2-ec849.jpg\" alt=\"Faustin-Archange Touad\u00e9ra, President of the Central African Republic, has been re-elected with 76.15% of the vote, according to a provisional announcement by the National Election Authority on Monday night.
