December 2023 is fast approaching and the Congolese political landscape is preparing for a crucial presidential election. In this context, the Green Social Democratic Party (PSDV) of Léonard She Okitundu Lundula has indicated its support for a candidate in particular: Félix Tshisekedi.
During its Convention held from September 5 to 7 at the Pullman Grand Hôtel Kinshasa, the PSDV officially announced its choice and pleaded for Tshisekedi’s candidacy. Former right-hand man of Joseph Kabila, Léonard She Okitundu is an experienced and influential politician. His support for Tshisekedi is based on an in-depth analysis of the electoral context and on an ideological convergence between the two men.
By declaring that Tshisekedi is “best placed, among all the candidates who have spoken out, to lead this country”, Okitundu shows his confidence in the ability of the current president to continue his mission. This decision by the PSDV is of considerable importance, as it strengthens the Tshisekedi camp and gives it additional legitimacy, thanks to the support of a well-established political party.
The PSDV does not stop there. The party remains actively engaged in the electoral process and intends to play a key role in the campaign and the conduct of the presidential elections. This involvement demonstrates the determination of the PSDV to contribute to the democratic development of the country and to support the candidates it considers capable of leading the DRC.
With this announcement, the Congolese electoral landscape is being redefined, and it is interesting to note that Tshisekedi managed to obtain the support of a party other than his own party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS). This testifies to his growing popularity and his ability to bring together different political forces around his candidacy.
The electoral campaign promises to be intense and exciting, with important issues for the future of the DRC. Congolese voters will have to make an informed decision and choose the candidate who, in their opinion, will be best able to respond to the economic, social and political challenges facing the country.
In conclusion, the support of the Green Social Democratic Party for the candidacy of Félix Tshisekedi marks a significant step in the race for the presidency in the DRC. This announcement underlines the PSDV’s confidence in Tshisekedi and his ability to lead the country towards a better future. The next few months will be decisive, and it will be interesting to follow the evolution of the electoral campaign and see which candidate will obtain the final support of the Congolese people.
