Alphonse Poaty-Souchlaty
Alphonse Poaty-Souchlaty (born 1941) is a politician of the Republic of the Congo. Poaty-Souchlaty was the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of the Congo from 7 August 1989 to 3 December 1990 under President Denis Sassou Nguesso.
Poaty-Souchlaty was Minister of Trade and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises from 1984 to 1989. Following the Fourth Ordinary Congress of the Congolese Labour Party (PCT) in late July 1989, he was appointed as Prime Minister on 7 August, succeeding Ange-Edouard Poungui. Following his appointment, a new government was named on 13 August.[1] After a little more than a year in office, Poaty-Souchlaty resigned on 3 December 1990, as the PCT's single-party regime was coming to an end.[2][3] He resigned from the PCT at the same time. Poaty-Souchlaty was said to have disagreed with Sassou Nguesso about what political course the country should take in the face of widespread demands for change.[3]
He stood as the Union républicaine pour le progrès (URP) candidate in the August 1992 presidential election, placing 12th with 0.30% of the vote.[4] Later, he joined the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS) and was elected as one of the party's vice-presidents in December 2006, at its first extraordinary congress.[5]
