Supporters of Incumbent President Denis Sassou Nguessu celebrate in the streets of Brazzaville after informations of an early lead in the electoral results spread through the city on March 22, 2016. Congo's veteran leader Denis Sassou Nguesso has secured 67 percent of votes in his bid to extend his 32-year-old rule, partial results showed Tuesday, after a tense weekend poll. The results covered 69 percent of the total electorate, the chief of the electoral commission Henri Bouka said, adding that they did not cover Pointe-Noire, the economic capital and opposition stronghold.
