The full article available on the Fatshimetrie blog talks about the ongoing electoral process in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the exchanges between the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) and opposition leaders. The CENI responded to opposition concerns about the external audit of the electoral register, explaining that it was not part of the legal or regulatory requirements in the DRC.
The CENI stressed that the external audit was a voluntary step to ensure transparency in the electoral process, but that no serious argument had been presented to question the conclusions of the previous audit. She also pointed out that carrying out a new audit would risk delaying the important steps leading to the organization of the elections scheduled for December 2023.
However, this CENI response was not well received by the Congolese opposition, in particular by opponent Martin Fayulu. He expressed his disapproval saying that the Congolese would not be fooled and would not allow further electoral fraud. Martin Fayulu has promised to speak to the press to clarify his position on the ongoing electoral process.
This confrontation between the CENI and the opposition highlights the tensions and concerns related to the organization of elections in the DRC. As the country prepares for important elections, ensuring the transparency and credibility of the electoral process is essential to maintaining citizens’ confidence in the country’s democracy.
