Parliamentary elections were held in the Republic of the Congo in July 2022, with the first round completed on 10 July.[1] A second round was scheduled for 31 July in constituencies where no candidates were elected in the first round.[2][3]

Electoral system

Members of the National Assembly are elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system; if no candidate receives a majority of the votes in the first round, a run-off is held.[4]

Results

First round

It was reported that the ruling Congolese Party of Labour had won 102 of the 142 elected seats in the first round, enough for a supermajority on its own. They also had 14 candidates move on to a run-off. The Pan-African Union for Social Democracy won four seats in the first round, with four candidates moving on to a run-off. The Union of Humanist Democrats won three seats in the first round, with seven candidates moving on to a run-off.[5]

Second round

On 3 August, provisional results published by the Minister of Territorial Administration stated the Congolese Party of Labour had won a total of 111 seats between the two rounds. The Union of Humanist Democrats won four additional seats in their run-offs, bringing their total to seven, while the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy won three of their run-offs, also resulting in a total of seven seats. Turnout in both rounds was reported to be low, although no figure was published by election authorities.[6]
