The Central African Republic (CAR) has witnessed a significant political development as President Faustin-Archange Touadéra secures a third term in office. According to official provisional results, Touadéra won with approximately 76.15% of the vote. This outcome followed an opposition boycott of the December 28, 2025, presidential election.
