The ongoing efforts of stakeholders in the elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo to ensure the inclusiveness, transparency and tranquility of the electoral cycle are receiving notable attention. In a recently released statement, the United States of America highlights the importance of citizen participation in electoral processes and calls on all parties involved to strengthen the confidence of the Congolese in the electoral process.
The country of Joe Biden recognizes the efforts of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) to respect the electoral calendar and welcomes the successful registration of candidates in the legislative and local elections. However, challenges persist in certain territories.
In this statement, the United States encourages the CENI to publish voter lists, budget information, and electoral mapping as soon as possible to demonstrate its commitment to transparency and accountability.
As a partner of the DRC, the United States reaffirms its support for Tshisekedi’s country throughout this crucial electoral cycle. They recognize that the December elections are a unique opportunity for the Democratic Republic of Congo to consolidate its democratic achievements and build a more prosperous future for its people.
