00:01Days before Congo's presidential election on Sunday, the streets of the capital Brazzaville are filled with campaign posters and banners,
00:08urging the country's 2.6 million registered voters to head to the polls.
00:14Supporters of incumbent president Denis Sasungesaw say he deserves another mandate.
00:21Candidate and president Denis Sasungesaw, who today embodies experience in the noble management of our country.
00:30And I think that today, given his experience, no one can challenge him for the presidency.
00:39In Brazzaville's markets and working-class neighbourhoods, the election is generating little enthusiasm.
00:46Presidents worry about creating jobs for young people, reviving the economy and improving living conditions.
00:53Many young people are unemployed. Some have degrees, but they are stuck at home.
00:58There are no jobs. The president made promises. To date, nothing has been done. Not even a factory.
01:07Young people drive motorcycle taxis.
01:10For observers, the main issue is not the outcome of the vote, but voter turnout.
01:16About 2.6 million people are registered to vote.
01:23In terms of key issues, the first question is the voter turnout rate for this election.
01:28Will it be low or high?
01:30Already, as we follow the election campaign, we can see that there is ultimately no enthusiasm.
01:38President Denis Sasungesaw is widely seen as the frontrunner.
01:42In power since 1997, he is seeking another term against six other candidates.
01:48With a population of 6 million, Congo is one of Africa's major oil producers.
01:53Thank you, David.
