Auguste Batina

Auguste Batina (born 28 March 1936[1]) is a Congolese politician. He served in the government of Congo-Brazzaville as Minister of Primary and Secondary Education from 1973 to 1975; later, he served in the Senate of Congo-Brazzaville from 2002 to 2011.

Batina worked as a primary school inspector, and in January 1971 he became Director of Primary and Normal Education at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.[1] President Marien Ngouabi subsequently appointed him to the government as Minister of Primary and Secondary Education on 30 August 1973.[2][3] Batina served in that post for a little over a year; he was dismissed from the government in January 1975.[4]

In July 2002, Batina was elected to the Senate as a candidate of the Congolese Labour Party (PCT) in Brazzaville.[5] As of 2003, he was Secretary of the Collective of Brazzaville Senators.[6] He was re-elected to the Senate in October 2005 as a PCT candidate in Brazzaville. Batina received 40 votes from the electors, placing sixth and thereby winning the last of the six seats available for Brazzaville.[7] Following that election, Batina was designated as Secretary of the Senate's Education, Culture, Science and Technology, Health, Employment, and Social Affairs Commission on 11 October 2005.[8]

In the October 2011 Senate election, Batina was not re-elected to the Senate.[9]
