“The Center for Strategic Studies and Actions (CEAS) recently published an interim electoral observation report, highlighting the persistent doubts surrounding the electoral register in the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to the CEAS, this mistrust continues to sow uncertainties regarding the holding of transparent and credible elections scheduled for December 20.
The CEAS report highlights the need for a republican dialogue between all stakeholders in order to find consensus on the issue of the electoral register. While the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) claims that the file is reliable, other political actors have expressed doubts about its validity. The CEAS therefore proposes a republican pact in which all stakeholders would undertake to recognize the validity of the file and to guarantee equal opportunities for all candidates.
The CEAS report also highlights that the CENI maintains its position that the elections will take place on December 20, 2023. However, doubts surrounding the electoral register raise concerns about the credibility and transparency of the electoral process.
It is therefore essential, according to Denis Byamungu, president of CEAS, to reach a consensus quickly to guarantee peaceful elections within a reasonable time. Dialogue between all stakeholders would dispel doubts and restore confidence in the electoral process.
The question of the electoral register in the Democratic Republic of Congo is therefore a major problem which requires particular attention. The upcoming elections are of vital importance for the future of the country, and it is essential to remove doubts surrounding the electoral register in order to guarantee free and fair elections.
The CEAS thus calls for a republican dialogue and the establishment of a pact allowing all stakeholders to recognize the validity of the electoral register. This will help restore confidence and ensure transparent and credible elections that reflect the will of the Congolese people.”
