Denis Sassou Nguesso, 82, is seeking a fifth consecutive term in the Republic of Congo's March 15 presidential election, running under the banner of the Presidential Majority, a coalition of nearly 20 political parties.

Russian President Vladimir Putin described the Republic of Congo as "a key priority" of Russia's foreign policy in Africa during talks with Sassou Nguesso. Russia holds a 90 percent stake in a Congolese oil pipeline, and the two countries have accumulated an estimated $3.2 billion in Chinese debt alongside Russian energy ties.
