  Congolese Party of Labour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congolese Party of Labour (Parti congolais du Travail), founded in 1969 by Marien Ngouabi, is the ruling political party of the Republic of the Congo.
Denis Sassou-Nguesso, presidential candidate of both the Congolese Party of Labour and the United Democratic Forces, won the presidential elections of March 10, 2002 with 89.4% of the vote.
The party also won 53 out of 153 seats in the lower house of parliament at the legislative elections of May 16 and 20 June 2002.

 Denis Sassou-Nguesso
Despite this he was part of the military coup of 1968 that brought Marien Ngouabi to power and was an early member of the PCT (Parti Congolais du Travail[?]) when it was founded in December 1969.
When Ngouabi was assassinated Nguesso played a key role in maintaining control, briefly heading the Military Committee of the Party (CMP, Comité Militaire du Parti) that controlled the state before the succession of Colonel Joachim Yhomby-Opango[?].
From August 1990 political parties other than the PCT were allowed and Sassou-Nguesso undertook a symbolic state visit to the USA, laying the grounds for a new series of conditional IMF loans later that year.

Repeated attempts at mediation by outside parties failed until, in April 2001, a formula devised by President Omar Bongo of Gabon and backed by the Organization of African Unity secured the agreement of both sides.
By mid-2003, the country was largely at peace, although there has been fighting in the Pool region, adjacent to the capital, Brazzaville, between the army and a rebel group known as the Ninjas: although this has been sporadic, it has caused a serious refugee problem with an estimated 150,000 displaced as a result.

By most counts, Kabila and his party, Parti du Peuple pour la Réconstruction et la Démocratie, were ahead after three days of counting, although Bemba insists that he is going to win and accordingly convinced thousands of his supporters in Kinshasa.
That he succeeded only partially was clear at February's elections, in which he took his western homeland and most of the centre and east but barely figured in northern districts, where the Lord's Resistance Army rebellion has raged for two decades.
Optimists claim that this renewed attack, presumably by the Hutu rebel Parti pour la Libération du Peuple Hutu-Forces Nationales pour la Libération (Palipehutu-FNL), was intended to restate its tough stand as a preliminary to long-awaited negotiations with the government.

Although the elections were widely believed to have been rigged in favour of President Denis Sassou-Nguesso's Parti congolais du travail (PCT) - with Sassou-Nguesso himself winning an improbable 89 percent of the vote after all serious rivals were either excluded from or dropped out of the election - they took place without major incident.
In his inaugural speech, noted Africa Confidential, Sassou-Nguesso railed against government corruption, lack of transparency, the mismanagement of public funds and the political exploitation of ROC's ethnic divisions - as though someone else had ruled for the past five years.
