André Mouélé

André Mouélé is a Congolese politician. During the single-party rule of the Congolese Labour Party (PCT), he served in the government of Congo-Brazzaville as Minister of Culture, Arts, and Sports and as Minister of Labour and Justice in the 1970s. After the introduction of multiparty politics, he briefly served as President of the National Assembly of Congo-Brazzaville from September 1992 to November 1992.

A native of Cuvette Department and a magistrate by profession, Mouélé was appointed as President of the Court of Appeal in Brazzaville in November 1969. President Marien Ngouabi subsequently appointed him to the government as Minister of Culture, Arts, and Sports on 30 August 1973. After a period out of the government, Mouélé was appointed as Minister of Labour and Justice on 18 November 1978, and he was elected to the PCT Central Committee at the PCT Extraordinary Congress held on 26–31 March 1979.

At the PCT's Third Ordinary Congress, held on 27–31 July 1984, Mouélé was re-elected to the 75-member PCT Central Committee. He also served as Vice-President of the National People's Assembly.

Following the introduction of multiparty politics, Mouélé, who was a member of the PCT Political Bureau, was elected to the National Assembly as a PCT candidate in the June–July 1992 parliamentary election. The PCT was briefly allied with Pascal Lissouba and his party, the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS), and it backed Lissouba in the second round of the August 1992 presidential election. However, after Lissouba won the election, he appointed only three PCT members to the government in September 1992; the PCT, believing it had been denied an appropriately proportional level of representation in the government, was infuriated. It promptly abandoned its alliance with UPADS and moved toward the creation of an alliance with the Union for Democratic Renewal (URD), a seven-party opposition coalition led by Bernard Kolélas.
