Title: Political turmoil in the DRC: The President of the DCF-N on a reconquest mission in Butembo
Introduction:
As part of his mission to recapture and revitalize the Christian Democracy Federalist-Nyamwisi (DCF-N) political party, Simon Kazungu, its National President, began a stay in Butembo, a city in North Kivu, from Thursday July 27 2023. Through this visit, he wishes to mobilize and galvanize the supporters of his party after a difficult period and to perpetuate its presence throughout the Congolese territory.
The fight for the resurgence of the DCF-N:
Simon Kazungu recognizes the many challenges that the DCF-N has had to face since its creation in 1990, particularly following the death of its founder, Enock Nyamwisi Muvingi. Despite these difficulties, the party continues to exist and Simon Kazungu says he wants to revitalize it by relying on partnerships with other political parties, within the Alliance for Values. He is convinced that this unity will allow the party to regain its strength and achieve success in the next national, provincial and local legislative elections.
Strategies for Victory:
Simon Kazungu does not divulge the details of his strategies, but he stresses the importance of the political alliance he has formed, bringing together 15 political parties, including the IVT. He asserts that there is strength in unity and that this alliance will strengthen the DCF-N’s chances of victory. He also expresses his confidence in the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) currently in place, stressing that it will no longer be possible to cheat or be duped in the next elections. He assures that this time around the party will present strong candidates and that victory is within reach.
A charitable gesture towards the victims of the demonstrations:
Taking advantage of his visit to Butembo, Simon Kazungu wanted to show his support for the victims of the recent anti-MONUSCO demonstrations. This charitable gesture was greatly appreciated by the inhabitants, who see in him a committed leader close to the people.
Conclusion:
Simon Kazungu’s stay in Butembo marks a key stage in the mission of reconquering and revitalizing the DCF-N. His speech full of determination and confidence in the future suggests promising prospects for his political party. It remains to be seen whether this strategy based on political alliance will allow it to regain the strength and influence of yesteryear. The upcoming elections will be a litmus test for the fate of the DCF-N and its leadership
