The disagreement within Vital Kamerhe’s Union for the Congolese Nation (UNC) continues to make waves. Indeed, certain national deputy candidates aligned with the list of this party do not agree with the decision of the mini Congress to nominate Félix Tshisekedi as presidential candidate for the next elections. This is notably the case of Homer Bulakali, provincial deputy aligned with the UNC list in Bukavu, who decided to support the candidacy of Denis Mukwege for the presidential election, thus going against the position of his party .
This political indiscipline has provoked a firm reaction from the Office of the Interfederation Committee of the UNC/South Kivu, which considers this behavior unacceptable. They announced the opening of disciplinary proceedings against Homer Bulakali. The Office also calls on the population of Bukavu, South Kivu and the entire DRC to dissociate themselves from Bulakali and not consider him as a representative of the UNC.
During a conference in Bukavu, Homer Bulakali criticized Félix Tshisekedi’s record at the head of the country, thus justifying his support for Denis Mukwege. This position raises questions about unity and coherence within the UNC and highlights the divisions that exist within the party.
This situation also highlights the importance of political choices and alignments during elections. Voters should be aware of the differences of opinion within political parties and learn about the positions of candidates before making their choice. It is essential to take into account the political commitments and ideas defended by each candidate in order to vote with full knowledge of the facts.
This case also illustrates the challenges faced by political parties in a democratic system. Differences of opinion may exist and it is important to manage them in a respectful and constructive manner in order to preserve the unity and image of the party.
In conclusion, Homer Bulakali’s support for Denis Mukwege despite the UNC’s decision to nominate Félix Tshisekedi highlights the tensions within the party. This case reminds us of the importance for voters to find out about the commitments and positions of candidates before making their choice during elections. It also highlights the challenges faced by political parties in a democratic system.
