Republican Unity (French: Unité Républicaine, UNIR) is a political party in the Central African Republic founded in 2023 by former Prime Minister Henri-Marie Dondra.
History
Creation
On November 26 2023, Henri-Marie Dondra announced his intentions of starting a new political party, 21 months since his removal from the position of Prime Minister of the Central African Republic.[2] The party was officially created on December 5 2023; it is self-described as politically centrist and reformist, voicing support for initiatives to foster peace, social cohesion and entrepreneurship.[4][3][5][6]
2025 Central African general election
UNIR officially endorsed Dondra's presidential bid for the 2025 Central African general election in May 2025.[7] Dondra submitted his candidacy on October 8,[8] but was not approved until November 14 due to the incumbent prime minister Faustin-Archange Touadéra accusing him of holding Congolese citizenship.[4][9] Two of Dondra's brothers were arrested on March 19, leading Dondra's to assert the "gradual assassination of our democracy".[7][10][11]
The election was held on November 28; according to official results, Dondra received 3.19% of the votes, the 3rd most behind the Touadéra of the Union for Central African Renewal and Anicet-Georges Dologuélé of the United Hearts Movement.[12] Dondra accused the elections of being fraudulent and demanded an annulment of the results on behalf of the UNIR.[12]
