Leading Presidential opposition candidate in the Republic of Congo's presidential election, Guy Brice Parfait Kolelas, 61, has died from Covid-related complications, party officials said today.

Kolelas had been seen in a video shared on social media hours before the poll, receiving oxygen treatment at an undisclosed medical facility. "I am fighting death," the top presidential candidate, who briefly took off his oxygen mask, was heard saying in French in a footage that went viral over the weekend.

This death has left million of residents in Africa reeling since they have been repeatedly assured that the Covid virus doesn't exist in Africa.

President Nguesso, who is looking to extend his 36-year reign is expected to cruise to victory ahead of Kolelas and five other presidential contenders as vote counting continues in the oil-rich Central African country.

President Nguesso amended Congo's constitution in 2015, abolishing laws prescribing a two-term limit for presidents and a maximum age limit of 70 years.
