Voters in the Central African Republic are electing a new president and federal lawmakers on Sunday with incumbent President Faustin Archange Touadera seen as likely to win a third term.
Some 2.4 million voters are registered to vote in Sunday’s national elections, which include the presidential, legislative, regional as well as local elections being held for the first time in decades.
The National Electoral Authority (ANE) announced the accreditation of more than 1,700 national and international observers to monitor the process.
High-profile delegations include representatives from the European Union (EU), the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), and a 32-member mission from the African Union.
