Faustin-Archange Touadéra

Faustin-Archange Touadéra is a Central African politician and mathematician who has been president of the Central African Republic since March 2016, and was previously its prime minister from 2008 to 2013. He was elected to the presidency at the 2015–16 general election, in a second round of voting against former prime minister Anicet Georges Dologuélé. He was re-elected for a second term at the 2020–21 election and a third term at the 2025 Central African election, both of which took place amid low voter turnout and political violence.
