Title: Félix Tshisekedi invested as presidential candidate of the Sacred Union: a laudatory assessment for the Congolese people
Introduction :
The Congress of the Sacred Union of the Nation, held this Sunday, October 1 in Kinshasa, marked an important turning point in the preparation of the presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Indeed, during this event, the current Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi, was officially invested as presidential candidate on behalf of the Sacred Union. This decision follows the numerous actions with visible impact carried out by Tshisekedi since coming to power, both nationally and internationally.
A glowing assessment for Félix Tshisekedi:
During his speech at the Congress, Christophe Mboso, member of the Presidium of the coalition, stressed the importance of supporting the candidacy of Félix Tshisekedi because of the concrete achievements he has accomplished since his accession to the presidency. Mboso notably highlighted the country’s influence on the international scene thanks to Tshisekedi’s brilliant intervention at the 78th United Nations General Assembly, where he defended not only the Congo, but also all of Africa.
The member of the Presidium also praised Tshisekedi’s efforts in terms of security, highlighting his constant struggle to restore the integrity of the national territory and restore peace and security, particularly in the east of the country. Despite the challenges inherited from the previous regime, Tshisekedi works tirelessly to protect the Congolese population.
Massive support from the population and the Sacred Union:
Félix Tshisekedi’s candidacy was welcomed with enthusiasm by the majority of political parties and groupings that are members of the Sacred Union, such as the UDPS, the MLC and the UNC. This massive support demonstrates the trust placed in Tshisekedi and the recognition of his achievements in such a short time.
However, on the opposition side, some political actors such as Martin Fayulu and Moïse Katumbi have announced their intention to also run in the presidential election. The decision of Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize winner, regarding a possible candidacy, is still pending.
Conclusion :
The inauguration of Félix Tshisekedi as presidential candidate of the Sacred Union marks a major step in the preparation of the elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His laudatory record, both nationally and internationally, as well as the massive support of the Union Sacrée and the Congolese population, strengthen his position as the main candidate in the presidential election of December 2023. The people Congolese people look forward to seeing the next developments in this electoral campaign, which promises to be rich in issues and perspectives for the future of the country.
