In September, the government abolished the death penalty, in a move which was praised by the UN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Obiang, who has survived several coup attempts, seized power of the oil-rich West African nation in 1979 after a military takeover. Upon gaining office from his predecessor and uncle, Francisco Macias Nguema, he made some reforms, but retained Nguema\u2019s absolute control over the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguema, whose rule saw thousands of deaths and a mass exodus from Equatorial Guinea, was later executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Obiang has managed to maintain his grip on power due to controlling \u201cthe rules of the political game\u201d Professor S\u00e1 said, adding that he uses the poverty of the nation as a \u201cpolitical weapon\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, \u201celectoral laws were conceived to make sure Obiang will never lose power,\u201d she commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The country has a history of what critics call fraudulent election results. Officials said President Obiang won more than 97% of the vote in presidential elections in December 2002. Opposition candidates withdrew from the poll, citing fraud and irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar results were also reported in the 2009 and 2016 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have also been accusations of corruption levelled against the Obiang regime, after his son Teodorin Obiang was fined in a French court for using public money to fund a luxurious lifestyle in the European nation. Mr Obiang\u2019s French assets have since been seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vice-president, who is in pole position to succeed his father, was also sanctioned by the UK under an anti-corruption drive in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice-President Obiang has denied wrongdoing. President Obiang himself has also previously denied allegations of corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 300,000 voters have been registered to take part in Sunday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world\u2019s longest-serving president has sought re-election to continue his 43-year rule in Equatorial Guinea.
