Marie Josée IFOKU, President of the Alliance of Elites for a New Congo (AENC), recently filed her candidacy for the supreme office of the Democratic Republic of Congo. She thus becomes the first woman to enter the race for president during this election.
During her visit to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), Marie Josée IFOKU highlighted her political vision focused on “kombolization”. This concept, based on the idea of cleaning up anti-values and bad practices, aims to break with the system of predation that has been plaguing the DRC for many years.
According to Marie Josée IFOKU, the DRC needs a real break with this system of predation where the Congolese people become prey for the leaders. She thus proposes a vision of kombolization in five points, which she will develop in more detail later.
During her interview with the President of the CENI, Denis KADIMA KAZADI, Marie Josée IFOKU expressed her confidence in the upcoming electoral process and offered her support to ensure fair and transparent elections. She also stressed the importance of putting an end to the legitimacy crisis that marred previous electoral cycles in the DRC.
This candidacy of Marie Josée IFOKU brings new momentum to the presidential race in the DRC. As a female candidate, she paves the way for the representation of women in the Congolese political sphere. His commitment to kombolization, based on the fight against predation and the advent of a new era of governance, arouses interest and hope for real change for the country.
