Support is growing around Félix Tshisekedi in view of the 2023 presidential election. During a congress in Kinshasa, Vital Kamerhe and his party, the UNC, announced their unwavering support for Tshisekedi’s candidacy. In a room filled with enthusiasm, the secretary general of the UNC expressed his desire to lead the head of state towards his re-election.
With pride, he displayed his commitment by wearing effigies of Félix Tshisekedi and Vital Kamerhe, thus symbolizing their unwavering support. He also issued warnings against political opponents, saying Tshisekedi’s victory had already been achieved and the UNC would crush anyone who stood in its way.
This announcement marks a continuity in the support of the UNC to Félix Tshisekedi, since in 2018 already, the party had supported the candidacy of the current head of state. This unanimous decision at the UNC congress underlines the confidence placed in Tshisekedi and the desire to work together for the development of Congo.
By supporting Tshisekedi, the UNC highlights the positive results of the outgoing president and his vision for the future of the country. This political alliance aims to strengthen Tshisekedi’s candidacy and bring together forces to guarantee his re-election.
The announcement of UNC support for Tshisekedi not only provides political support, it also sends a strong message to other parties and political opponents. The UNC positions itself as a determined party ready to do anything to defend the interests of Tshisekedi and his mandate.
However, it remains to be seen how this political alliance will translate on the ground and what the real influence of the UNC will be in the upcoming electoral campaign. The next few months will be decisive for measuring the impact of this support and observing how the various political actors will position themselves in view of the presidential election of 2023.
In any case, one thing is certain, the announcement of UNC support for Felix Tshisekedi marks an important step in the constitution of political alliances for the upcoming elections. The Congolese political landscape is changing and the support of the UNC reinforces the already solid position of Tshisekedi.
This political support could also help build voter confidence in Tshisekedi and push him to continue on the path of reform and development for Congo
