Marie Josée IFOKU: First female presidential candidate in the DRC
The political landscape in the Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing a historic turning point with the emergence of Marie Josée IFOKU, president of the Alliance of Elites for a New Congo (AENC), as the first female candidate in the race for the supreme office. His candidacy file was registered at the Application Reception and Processing Office (BRTC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI).
During her interview with the President of the CENI, Denis KADIMA KAZADI, Marie Josée IFOKU was able to express her political vision based on the concept of “kombolization”. This term, taken from the Lingala word “kombo” meaning broom, symbolizes for her the cleansing of anti-values and bad practices which plague the country. Its objective is to break with the system of predation which has prevailed since the independence of the Congo, putting forward the idea of a rebirth of the nation.
The candidate also stressed the importance of the electoral process to end the legitimacy crises that the country has faced in the past. She expressed her confidence in the President of the CENI and offered her support to guarantee transparent elections that meet the expectations of the Congolese people.
Kombolization, an innovative concept developed by Marie Josée IFOKU, is based on five key points which will be developed later. She thus wishes to give the Congolese people the opportunity to choose a vision for the country, rather than a person based on their gender.
The candidacy of Marie Josée IFOKU marks a significant turning point in the political history of the DRC, by giving a voice and representation to women in the race for the presidency. His vision of kombolization and his commitment to cleaning up anti-values offer a new perspective for national renewal.
As the country prepares for the coupled elections scheduled for December 20, 2023, the candidacy of Marie Josée IFOKU brings a political alternative and a vision of profound change, raising hope for a transition towards more transparent and accountable governance.
