Denis Kadima, president of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), continues his efforts to convince the leaders of the political opposition of the credibility of the electoral process underway in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). After meeting personalities such as Matata, Sesanga and Muzuto, Kadima is now announcing a meeting with former President Joseph Kabila.
This meeting provoked strong reactions within the political family of Joseph Kabila, who disputed the credibility of the electoral process and accused the president of the CENI of being biased in favor of President Félix Tshisekedi. Despite these objections, Kadima said the meeting will take place once Kabila’s political family agrees.
It is important to emphasize that the meetings between Kadima and the various opposition leaders aim to strengthen confidence in the electoral process in the DRC. In a climate of political tensions and doubts about the transparency of elections, it is crucial for the CENI to demonstrate its commitment to democracy and the participation of all political actors.
The invitation to Joseph Kabila underscores the importance of his role as a former president and senator for life. Its participation in and support for the electoral process could help ease tensions and strengthen the legitimacy of electoral results.
It is therefore essential that the CENI continue its efforts of dialogue and persuasion with the political opposition in order to create a climate conducive to fair and transparent elections. The holding of credible elections in the DRC is essential to guarantee the political stability and the development of the country.
In conclusion, the planned meeting between Denis Kadima and Joseph Kabila testifies to the efforts made to strengthen the credibility of the electoral process in the DRC. It is now up to the stakeholders to put aside their differences and work together to ensure fair and democratic elections that reflect the will of the Congolese people.
