Title: Electoral issues in the DRC: Jean-Claude Lubamba Mutombo is a candidate for national deputy
Introduction :
In the race for elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), political rivalries are raging. Jean-Claude Lubamba Mutombo, provincial deputy elected on the UDPS/Tshisekedi list in 2018 and vice-governor of Lomami since June 2022, submitted his candidacy for national deputy on the Udps mosaic list called “Alliance pour le triple A et Alliés” (A.3.A) in the constituency of Mwene-Ditu. This candidacy sheds new light on the electoral issues in the region.
A strategic choice within the UDPS:
Jean-Claude Lubamba Mutombo has chosen to stand on the list of A.3.A, a political party created by the UDPS. This decision shows the unity and cohesion within the presidential party, which proudly displays its emblems for the electoral campaign. However, this candidacy highlights an internal rivalry within the UDPS, since Charles Guillaume Mpunga Mushamusha, elected national deputy in 2018 on the same list, is also in the running for the same seat.
Tensions and divisions within activists:
The presence of two heavyweights of the presidential party in the same electoral district has created tensions and divisions among UDPS activists and sympathizers in Mwene-Ditu. To calm things down, Jean-Claude Lubamba called for cohesion and tolerance during this electoral period. It is essential for the party to remain united and focus on the common goal: electoral victory.
Important issues for Mwene-Ditu:
The battle for the seat of national deputy in the constituency of Mwene-Ditu is of particular importance for the region. The decisions taken by the future deputy will have a direct impact on the population and the development of the locality. It is therefore crucial that candidates present clear programs and meet the expectations of voters.
Conclusion :
Electoral issues in the DRC are often marked by internal rivalries within political parties. The candidacy of Jean-Claude Lubamba Mutombo for the national deputy in the constituency of Mwene-Ditu highlights these divisions within the UDPS. However, it is essential that the party remain united and focused on the common goal of winning the elections
