The split within the opposition quartet in the Democratic Republic of Congo seems increasingly evident. Indeed, on July 4, Martin Fayulu of EciDé announced his intention to submit candidacies for the national legislative elections, unlike the three other members of the quartet.
Moïse Katumbi of the Ensemble pour la République, Matata Ponyo of LGB and Delly Sesanga Hipungu of Envol sent a letter to the President of the Ceni, expressing their desire to initiate a dialogue between the various stakeholders in the process. electoral.
This divergence in position highlights the divergent concerns and demands within the Congolese opposition. While Fayulu insists on the need for an external audit of the electoral register, the other members of the quartet raise questions such as the recomposition of the Ceni and the Constitutional Court, as well as the questioning of the electoral law.
This split within the opposition raises the question of its unity and cohesion in the face of the ongoing disputes and negotiations. Moreover, with Parliament on vacation, it becomes difficult to find a dialogue interface to resolve these differences.
It is therefore essential to follow closely the evolution of the political situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as the electoral process is fast approaching. The various actors will have to find common ground to guarantee the transparency and credibility of these crucial elections for the future of the country.
