The Action and Renewal Movement (French: Mouvement Action et Renouveau, MAR) is a political party in the Republic of the Congo. It was founded by Jean-Baptiste Tati Loutard, who was the party's president until his death in 2009. He was succeeded by incumbent leader Roland Bouiti-Viaudo, who formerly served as Mayor of Pointe-Noire and Minister of State for Hydrocarbons. The party supports the presidency of Denis Sassou Nguesso.[1]
MAR held its constitutive congress in late December 2006, marking its transformation into a political party; 342 delegates attended the congress.[1] In the parliamentary election held on 24 June and 5 August 2007, the party won five out of 137 seats.[2] The party has since been part of Sassou Nguesso's governing coalition.
