The year was marked by five salient domestic developments: legislative elections in July–August; the consolidation of the alliance between the party of former opposition heavyweight Bernard Kolélas and the presidential majority; the deaths of several members of the political elite; the failed political comeback of opponents who had returned from exile; and two cabinet reshuffles.
