Martin ZigulMartin Zigul (born February 12, 1957) was a Prime Minister of the Central African Republic. He was appointed on 1 April 2001 by President Ange-Flix Patass during a coup attempt. He also left office during a coup, when the uprising led by Franois Boziz successfully ousted Patass and his government on 15 March 2003. Zigul was allowed to go into exile in France. Zigul was 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 Boziz, along with two other candidates, on January 4. Later in January, all barred candidates, with the lone exception of Patass, were allowed to run; following this, Patass's party, Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People, backed Zigul for the election. Previously, he had been running as an independent. The elections were held on March 13, 2005, and Zigul came in second with 23.5% of the votes according to official results. He will face Boziz in a second round of voting. Zigul, Martin Zigul, Martin
