Republic of the Congo Senate election, 2008

An indirect Senate election was held in the Republic of the Congo on 5 August 2008. 42 of the 72 seats in the Senate were at stake in this election, with six elected from each of seven departments. The Senate was expanded by six members at the time of this election to account for the creation of Pointe-Noire Department.〔(IPU PARLINE page on the election ).〕 The senators were elected by councillors who were in turn elected in local elections on June 29, 2008.〔Thierry Noungou, ("Elections locales du 29 juin - Isidore Mvouba donne le top de la campagne électorale du RMP" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', June 17, 2008 .〕 A presidential decree on July 24, 2008 stated that an electoral college to elect senators from seven departments—Pointe-Noire, Niari, Lekoumou, Pool, Plateaux, Cuvette West, and Likouala—would meet on August 5.〔Willy Mbossa, ("Élection sénatoriale : convocation du collège électoral le 5 août 2008" ), ''Le Dépêches de Brazzaville'', July 29, 2008 .〕 In the election, there were a total of 133 candidates across the six departments where the election was being held. 33 candidates of the Rally of the Presidential Majority (RMP), which supports President Denis Sassou Nguesso, were elected to the Senate, in addition to seven independent candidates and two candidates of the opposition Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS).〔("Résultats des élections sénatoriales dans sept départements" ), ''La Semaine Africaine'', number 2,815, 8 August 2008, page 3 .〕
Following the election, the Senate met on August 12, 2008, and elected its bureau. In the vote, conducted by secret ballot, a single list of candidates was presented and approved. André Obami Itou was re-elected as President of the Senate, Benjamin Bounkoulou was re-elected as First Vice-President, and Vincent Ganga was elected to the previously vacant post of Second Vice-President. Philomène Fouti Soungou was elected as First Secretary and Dominique Lekoyi was elected as Second Secretary.〔("Renouvellement du bureau du Sénat : Vincent Ganga et Dominique Lekoyi montent au perchoir" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', August 12, 2008 .〕
