00:01Voters in the Central African Republic are electing a new president and federal lawmakers on Sunday.

00:08Incumbent President Faustin Archange Touadira is seen as likely to win a third term after a controversial referendum in 2023 that allowed him to serve additional terms.

00:21Touadira is one of Russia's closest allies in Africa, and analysts say a third win for him would likely consolidate Russia's security and economic interests in the country.

00:33About 2.4 million voters are registered for Sunday's unprecedented elections, which combine presidential, legislative, regional and municipal ballots.

00:44Touadira's main challenges include Agnissé-Georges Dologuelet and Henri-Marie Dondra.
