Political news in the Democratic Republic of Congo is marked by the candidacy of Moïse Katumbi for the presidential election. However, submitting his file to the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) encountered some complications.
Indeed, Katumbi’s team presented itself with photocopies of certain documents, while the CENI required the originals to carry out the authentication. The two original missing documents were the criminal record extract and the nationality certificate.
Faced with this situation, those close to Moïse Katumbi chose not to argue and promised to return the next day with the complete file, including the missing originals.
It is important to emphasize that this procedure complies with current electoral legislation and applies to all candidacies. Thus, this requirement from the CENI aims to guarantee the integrity and transparency of the electoral process.
It remains to be hoped that Moïse Katumbi’s camp will be able to quickly provide the necessary documents and proceed with the official submission of its candidacy. The participation of all candidates under fair conditions is essential to ensure a democratic and legitimate process during the presidential elections in the DRC.
We will closely monitor the evolution of this situation and keep you informed of future developments regarding the candidacy of Moïse Katumbi. Stay tuned to not miss any political news in the DRC.
