EISA deployed a pre‐election assessment mission to the Central African Republic (CAR) to examine political and legal conditions prevailing in the country prior to the holding of the presidential and legislative elections scheduled to take place on Sunday 25 April 2010. The team met election stakeholders in Bangui, the capital of the country, from 6 through 12 March 2010, which enabled it to assess the state of election preparedness and determine whether the conditions existed for the conduct of credible elections and whether EISA should deploy an election observer mission (EOM) to the CAR.
