Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS/Kibassa) hosted the HBO Global Social Protection Foundation, headed by Dr. Hermione Bolumbe Bakando. At the party headquarters in Limete, more than 400 activists accompanied Bakando during the joining ceremony.
The Foundation’s massive support for the UDPS/Kibassa aims to support the party in the next elections and to promote an absolute majority for the President of the Republic. Party Secretary General Seraphin Umba Kapepe said membership is an opportunity for the party to partner with an influential social figure. He also stressed that this membership is a source of pride for the party and that it encourages other people to join UDPS/Kibassa.
Bakando also spoke about her political commitment and said that one of her main objectives was to win a seat in parliament through the elections scheduled for December. She stressed that the party needs a strong majority to support the president’s initiatives and work closely with the people. She also assured that she would lend her full support to the re-election of the President of the Republic.
This membership is further proof of the influence of UDPS/Kibassa in the region and also shows the importance of supporting government initiatives for social and economic development.
Ultimately, the membership of the HBO Global Social Protection Foundation is a demonstration of the importance of solidarity and mutual support in promoting social welfare in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
