Faustin-Archange Touadéra ( French: [fostɛ̃ aʁkɑ̃ʒ twadeʁa]; born 21 April 1957) 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.
Since at least 2023, Touadéra has been backed by the Wagner Group, a Russian state-sponsored private military company financing his elections and launching disinformation campaigns for him while intimidating his opponents. During his rule, which included the removal of term limits after the contested 2023 Central African constitutional referendum and the controversial 2025 general election, his government has repressed opposition in the country.
