Candidates for the presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo are increasing as the deadline for submitting candidacies approaches. With only 11 days remaining, five candidates have already submitted their files to the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). Among them are Augustin Matata Ponyo, Constant Mutamba, Rex Kazadi, Radjabho Tebabho and Jo Sekimonyo Mutabazi.
CENI spokesperson Patricia Nseya stressed the importance of submitting applications on time to avoid delays and logistical problems. Thus, she called on all candidates to act quickly rather than waiting for the last day of filing.
However, many declared candidates for the presidential election have not yet filed their applications. Among them are important political figures such as Moïse Katumbi, Félix Tshisekedi and Delly Sessanga. It remains to be seen whether these candidates will meet the deadline and submit their applications on time.
This presidential election arouses keen interest among the Congolese population, who hope for a fair and transparent electoral process. The stakes are high, as the next president of the DRC will have the difficult task of leading the country towards a better future, by addressing socio-economic challenges and strengthening political stability.
It is therefore crucial that the electoral process takes place in a transparent manner, with equitable participation of all candidates. Respecting the deadlines for submitting candidacies is a first step towards establishing a fair and democratic electoral process.
The presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a major event that will have a significant impact on the future of the country. Congolese voters are paying attention to different aspects of this election, from candidacies to candidates’ political programs. This is why it is essential that candidates act within the stipulated deadlines and respect the established rules.
The clock is ticking and the deadline is quickly approaching. All eyes are on the candidates who have not yet submitted their application, hoping that they act with diligence and responsibility. The stability and future of the DRC depend on it.
In conclusion, the presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo is seeing an intensification of candidacies as the deadline for submitting candidacies approaches. Candidates now have 11 days to submit their file to the CENI.
