The previous article highlights the concerns expressed by six presidential candidates of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) regarding the ongoing electoral process. Martin Fayulu, Denis Mukwege, Moïse Katumbi, Marie-Josée Ifoku, Seth Kikuni and Franc Diongo jointly denounced the lack of transparency of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) and warned that it could lead to chaotic elections.
These candidates stressed that the CENI does not provide sufficient information regarding the financial, logistical and organizational aspects of the electoral process, which raises concerns about its credibility. According to them, this lack of transparency could compromise national harmony and civil peace in the country.
Faced with this situation, Fayulu, Katumbi, Mukwege, Kikuni, Ifoku and Diongo called for urgent measures to safeguard the electoral process. In particular, they requested the complete publication of electoral lists, the mapping of polling stations and the geolocation of voting machines. In addition, they demanded an end to the exploitation of justice for political purposes.
These candidates reaffirmed their commitment to working together to prevent any manipulation of electoral results. They also expressed their rejection of tribalism and violence, calling on the population to mobilize to guarantee free and fair elections.
Their press release comes shortly after the validation of the final list of presidential candidates by the Constitutional Court. This important stage of the electoral process has raised expectations and questions about the credibility and integrity of the upcoming election.
It is essential to emphasize that the DRC is going through a delicate political period, marked by challenges linked to stability, governance and democracy. In this context, transparency and trust in the electoral process are of crucial importance for the future of the country.
It is crucial that the CENI takes into account the concerns expressed by these candidates and takes the necessary measures to guarantee a transparent, inclusive and credible electoral process. Holding free and fair elections is fundamental for the consolidation of democracy in the DRC and to ensure the legitimacy of the future president.
It is therefore essential that electoral authorities work closely with all political actors and civil society to ensure peaceful and transparent elections. Respecting the will of the Congolese people and promoting a climate of trust are the keys to a successful and lasting political transition.
In conclusion, it is essential that the concerns of the candidates for the presidency of the DRC be taken into consideration in the current electoral process.. Transparency, credibility and integrity are essential elements for building a democratic and peaceful future for the Congolese nation.
