Following the end of a successful inclusive political dialogue and the adherence to peace processes by the majority of military opposition groups in the Central African Republic, elections have been set up for 2010. Constitutionally, these elections must be held before April 2010 and similarly, the mandate of sitting President Francois Bozize comes to an end in June 2010. As the country prepares for this crucial vote, it remains to be seen whether the elections are going to set the scene for much-needed political stability in this conflict-ridden country.
