President Putin of Russia has been in office for 20 years. The most divisive change, though, would make it possible for Putin to remain in power in Russia indefinitely.
Critics are calling his actions a "constitutional coup," but the end result is that he will be able to remain in power until at least 2036. If he stays that long, he will become Russia's longest-serving leader. The current record holder is Stalin, who served for a total of 29 years.
Who has been in office the longest as president?
President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea has been in office for 41 years, making him the longest-serving head of state in Africa.
His presidency was the second for Equatorial Guinea.
The longest-serving African president, he has been in office since 1979. President Obiang had a reputation as a ruthless autocrat in the early stages of his presidency. He presided over a dictatorship that tortured and murdered its political opponents.
Teodor is an outgoing person who has always defended the legitimacy of Congolese music.
Madillu System mentions him in his counterpart, Vice Versa. Koffi Olomide makes reference to him in a few songs. A quote from his Papa Ngwasuma: "Soki nazalaki Obiang Nguema" (If I was Obiang Nguema).
He began to relax his grip on the country and allow for multiparty elections in the 1990s. Even so, he has managed to maintain his position as leader.
In Equatorial Guinea, Obiang has established a dictatorship. Corruption and abuse of authority are among the many charges levelled against him. As long as he stays in power, Equatorial Guinea will have one of the world's worst human rights records.
