Elections in The Central African Republic are Clouded by Campaign Limits

Concerns over the fairness of the forthcoming election are being raised as opposition candidates in the Central African Republic accuse the government of seriously obstructing their electoral activities as the campaign comes to an end.

Georges Dologuň, the head of the opposition, claims he was not allowed to organize a campaign rally at the Bouar stadium. Henri-Marie Dondra, a former prime minister and presidential contender, has also accused the government of obstructing his travels, saying he was prevented from boarding an aircraft to visit the provinces and deliver his platform.

Speaking to the media, Dondra said that members of the presidential military had stopped the aircraft he had reserved and paid for. He described this as a calculated attempt to sabotage his campaign. He characterized the event as an intolerable limitation in a democratic process where all candidates need to have equal access to voters.

The charges have been vehemently denied by the ruling United Hearts Movement (MCU). Evariste Ngamana, a party spokesperson, denied the allegations as baseless and politically driven, claiming that the opposition is still free to run for office. He also questioned allegations of travel limitations, pointing out that private airlines are neither owned or operated by the state.
