Title: Marie-Josée Ifoku determined to dethrone Félix Tshisekedi with her vision of “kombolization”
Introduction :
Marie-Josée Ifoku, unsuccessful candidate in the 2018 presidential election, has unveiled her new hobbyhorse for the next presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His strategy, called “kombolization”, aims to clean up the anti-values and bad rules that reign in Congolese society. His ultimate goal is to dethrone Félix Tshisekedi and give the country a new renaissance. In this article, we will explore the principles and ambitions of kombolization, as well as the actions undertaken by Marie-Josée Ifoku to achieve its objectives.
On kombolization as a cleansing ideology:
Kombolization, a term derived from the Lingala word “kombo” which means broom in French, is the central idea of Marie-Josée Ifoku’s strategy. It aims to eliminate predatory practices and negative values that hinder the development of the DRC. According to Ifoku, kombolization must begin with personal introspection, by first cleansing the anti-values within each Congolese, to then extend this purification to the social and political environment of the country.
The breakdown of the system of predation and the rebirth of the Congo:
Marie-Josée Ifoku affirms that kombolization is the way to break with the system of predation that has plagued the DRC for decades. She considers that this system is responsible for the country’s stagnation and the proliferation of corruption and inequalities. According to Ifoku, only a real break with this system will allow the rebirth of Congo and the emergence of a new development model based on integrity, transparency and social justice.
The candidacy of Marie-Josée Ifoku for the presidential election:
To realize her vision of kombolization, Marie-Josée Ifoku plans to submit her candidacy for the presidential election which will be held on December 20. She thus intends to convince Congolese voters of the need for radical change and the implementation of her strategy of cleansing and rebirth. His political party, the Alliance of Elites for a New Congo (AeCN), is mobilizing to gather the necessary support for his campaign.
Conclusion :
Marie-Josée Ifoku is determined to dethrone Félix Tshisekedi thanks to her vision of kombolization. Its strategy of cleaning up anti-values and predatory practices in the Democratic Republic of Congo aims to establish a new era of development, integrity and social justice. As the date of the presidential election approaches, it remains to be seen whether the kombolization and the message of Marie-Josée Ifoku will convince Congolese voters of the urgency of profound change for the country.
