The role of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) in organizing transparent and credible elections is crucial for the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is in this spirit that Mgr Donatien Nshole, representative of the Catholic Church in the DRC, expressed his desire to continue working in close collaboration with the CENI.
In a recent statement, Bishop Nshole stressed the importance of holding good elections for the country. He also indicated that despite the challenges facing the CENI, he was ready to provide support and work together to ensure the transparency and integrity of the electoral process.
Recognizing the efforts made by the CENI to guarantee free and fair elections, Bishop Nshole stressed the importance of the participation of all political actors and civil society. He also called for a climate of peace and stability during this electoral period, in order to promote a democratic and inclusive vote.
Bishop Nshole further highlighted the role of the Catholic Church as an impartial observer and mediator in the electoral process. He recalled that the Church was committed to promoting justice and truth, and that it would continue to play its role as guarantor of the integrity and transparency of elections.
This statement from Bishop Nshole highlights the importance of collaboration between different stakeholders to ensure free and fair elections in the DRC. By working together with the CENI and encouraging the participation of all stakeholders, including civil society, it is possible to build confidence in the electoral process and guarantee the legitimacy of the results.
In a context where the DRC seeks to consolidate its democracy and strengthen institutions, Bishop Nshole’s statement is a call for unity and commitment to good governance. By continuing to work together, it is possible to overcome challenges and build a better future for the Congolese people.
