This paper examines the transition in the Central African Republic (CAR) after is first multiparty election i, 1993. With the election of Faustin-Archange Touadéra eon March 1, 2016, reflcing on the past twenty years is relevant to understand the challenges the new president faces. This article focuses on the security of elites as having no ontological core to explain why thegoverning elite in the CAR relies on a neopatrimonial style of governing. Consequently, as the elite's insecurity increases, neopatrimonialism moves towards a narrower clientelism in which resources only reach an increasingly small circle of cronies. The article concludes that insecurity is linked to the exclusionist policies that have prevented the democratic transition in the CAR.
