The Dynamique Progressive Révolutionnaire (DYPRO) political platform calls for a large peaceful march on Thursday, May 25, 2023 in Kinshasa in support of the ongoing electoral process. The conference of presidents of the member parties of the republican opposition invites the Congolese population to mobilize to demand the holding of elections within the constitutional deadline and to prevent any political move tending to delay the electoral calendar in progress.
The practical arrangements for participating in the march will be communicated shortly. This initiative could contribute to strengthening the Congolese opposition, which is seeking to regroup to confront the Sacred Union of the Nation supported by President Tshisekedi.
In a tense context, the opposition must face tensions with the CENI on the question of the electoral register, while alliances are forged between certain political parties. This peaceful march could therefore be a way for the opposition to show its determination and its mobilization in the face of the political and social challenges of the DRC.
