The CENI declares admissible all 24 candidacies for the presidential election of December 2023
In a provisional announcement, the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) declared admissible all 24 candidatures for the presidential election which will be held in December 2023. This decision was announced by the CENI rapporteur, Patricia Nseya, during an interview on the national television channel, RTNC.
This provisional list includes candidates from diverse backgrounds and offers a diversity of policy proposals. According to the electoral law, the Constitutional Court will have seven days to make its final decision on this list. Once this deadline has expired, the CENI will publish the final list of candidates for the presidency of the Republic.
Among the 24 candidates, there is only one woman. The majority of these candidates aim to put an end to the system of predation which is plaguing the country. However, the current President of the Republic, who is running for his own succession, says he wants to continue his efforts to develop the country.
It is interesting to note that the list of candidates has a wide age diversity. The oldest candidate is Georges Buse Falay, aged 77, while the youngest is Constant Mutamba, aged 35.
This announcement has already sparked numerous reactions and piqued citizens’ interest in the upcoming presidential elections. The population is listening to the proposals of the different candidates and hopes to find a leader capable of leading the country towards a better future.
In conclusion, the CENI made public the provisional list of 24 candidates for the presidential election in December 2023. Once the Constitutional Court has rendered its decision, the final list of candidates will be published. The next few weeks will therefore be crucial for the candidates who will have to convince voters to vote in their favor. The stakes are high for the Congolese population who are hoping for positive changes through this presidential election.
