Political career

In 1979, Ziguélé started his political career by joining MLPC.<ref name="MAZI"></ref>

Ziguélé was appointed as Prime Minister on 1 April 2001 by President Ange-Félix Patassé,<ref name=AE>"L’ancien Premier ministre autorisé à quitter Bangui pour Paris" Template:Webarchive, Afrique Express, number 273, July 1, 2003 Template:In lang.</ref><ref name=Que>"Que va faire Dologuélé ?", Jeune Afrique, April 10, 2001 Template:In lang.</ref> replacing Anicet-Georges Dologuélé.<ref name=Que/> He had previously lived in Lomé, Togo<ref name=AE/><ref name=Que/> for twenty years and was an executive member of the MLPC.<ref name=Que/> He also hold the portfolio of Minister of Finance.<ref name="caffin">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ziguélé left office when rebel leader François Bozizé took power upon capturing the capital, Bangui, on 15 March 2003. Ziguélé was allowed to go into exile in France.<ref name=AE/>

Ziguélé was initially barred from running in the 2005 presidential election, along with six other candidates, by a court ruling on December 30, 2004. He was subsequently reinstated as a candidate by Bozizé, along with two other candidates, on January 4.<ref>Template:In lang "Bozize repeals court ban on some presidential candidates", IRIN, January 5, 2005.</ref> Later in January, all barred candidates, with the lone exception of Patassé, were allowed to run; following this, Patassé's party, the MLPC, backed Ziguélé for the election. Previously, he had been running as an independent.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The election was held on March 13, 2005, and Ziguélé placed second with 23.5% of the votes according to official results.<ref>Template:In lang "Second tour : Bozizé face à Ziguélé", Radio France Internationale, March 31, 2005.</ref> He faced Bozizé in a second round of voting, and tried to distance himself from Patassé in campaigning, but was defeated and took 35.4% of the vote.

Ziguélé was elected as President of the MLPC on a provisional basis for one year at an extraordinary party congress in late June 2006, while Patassé was suspended from the party.<ref>Template:In lang "Centrafrique: Martin Ziguélé, ancien premier ministre, a été élu à la tête du MLPC, parti d'opposition, après un congrès extraordinaire de trois jours qui a décidé la radiation du parti de l'ancien Président centrafricain Ange-Félix Patassé" Template:Webarchive, Agence France-Presse, June 25, 2006 Template:In lang.</ref><ref>"Patassé suspendu du MLPC" Template:Webarchive, Agence Centrafrique Presse, June 26, 2006 Template:In lang.</ref><ref name=Chef>"RCA: l'ex-Premier ministre Ziguélé élu chef du principal parti d'opposition", Agence France-Presse, June 24, 2007 Template:In lang.</ref> On June 23, 2007, at the end of the MLPC's third ordinary congress,<ref name=Chef/> Ziguélé was elected to a three-year term as President.<ref>"Centrafrique/Politique : Martin Ziguélé face à la presse", Agence Centrafrique Presse, June 30, 2007 Template:In lang.</ref>

In the December 2015 presidential election, Ziguélé stood as the MLPC candidate and placed fourth. In the February–March 2016 parliamentary election, he was elected to the National Assembly as the MLPC candidate in the third constituency of Bocaranga, winning in the first round with 66.25%% of the vote.<ref>"Résultats du 1er tour des législatives validés par la CCT concernant 46 députés", RJDH Template:In lang.</ref>

In October 2021, The COD-2020 coalition, Crépin Mboli-Goumba’s Patrie party and Martin Ziguélé’s Central African People’s Liberation Movement withdrew their representatives from the organizing committee and denounced “a desire to sabotage the Dialogue”.Template:Fact Template:Importance inline
