Marcel Moufouma-Okia is a Congolese politician. He has served in the Senate of Congo-Brazzaville since 2002.
During the 1970s, Moufouma-Okia was included on the Confederal Executive Committee of the Congolese Trade Union Confederation (CSC).[1][2]
Moufouma-Okia was elected to the Central Committee of the Congolese Labour Party (PCT) at its Fourth Ordinary Congress, held on 26–31 July 1989.[3] In July 2002, he was elected to the Senate as a PCT candidate in Lekoumou Region.[4] When the Senate began meeting, he was designated as First Vice-President of the Senate's Commission for Education, Culture, Science and Technology, Health, Employment, and Social Affairs on 23 August 2002.[5] He was re-elected to that post on 11 October 2005.[6]
Standing for re-election as a candidate of the Rally of the Presidential Majority (RMP) coalition in Lekoumou Department, Moufouma-Okia again won a seat in the indirect August 2008 Senate election; he received 20 votes from the electors, thereby winning the last of Lekoumou's six available seats.[7]
Following the October 2011 Senate election, Moufouma-Okia was re-elected as First Vice-President of the Senate's Education, Science, Culture, Information, and Technology Commission on 24 October 2011.[8]
