Introduction :
Recent statements by President Félix Tshisekedi on the results of the 2018 presidential election have sparked strong reactions. While he claimed to have not concluded any fraudulent arrangement with his predecessor Joseph Kabila, the former President of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), Corneille Nangaa, confirmed the existence of a political agreement between the two men. In a statement made public, Nangaa claims to be one of the co-drafters of this agreement, which was signed in front of witnesses by Tshisekedi and Kabila. This revelation raises many questions about the transparency of the electoral process and political stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Confirmation of the political agreement:
Corneille Nangaa, former President of the CENI, confirmed the existence of a political agreement between Félix Tshisekedi and Joseph Kabila. He claims to be one of the co-drafters of this agreement, which was signed in front of witnesses by the two politicians. Nangaa specifies that this agreement, entitled “Agreement for the stability of the Democratic Republic of Congo”, was certified and validated by three African Heads of State. He also points out that this agreement enabled the first bloodless transfer of power in the DRC, which was welcomed by both parties.
The consequences for Félix Tshisekedi:
Corneille Nangaa believes that Félix Tshisekedi made the intentional choice to deny the existence of this political agreement as the expiration of his mandate approaches. He recalls that this agreement has been part of Congolese collective history since January 2019 and that the President cannot falsify such an important historical fact. Nangaa emphasizes that Tshisekedi cannot shirk his obligations to this agreement and that the main clause binds him until the December 20 deadline.
The consequences for political stability:
The revelation of this political agreement raises questions about the transparency of the electoral process in the DRC and the political stability of the country. If this agreement had been hidden from the public, it would call into question the legitimacy of Félix Tshisekedi’s mandate and could fuel political tensions. It is essential that the truth about this agreement be made public to ensure citizens’ trust and ensure a peaceful political transition in the country.
