The electoral campaign should not be a period of division between Iturians but a moment to strengthen unity between populations for the emergence of this province. This is the message that members of the Ituri Parliamentarians Caucus brought to the press. These elected officials noted unhealthy and discourteous comments from certain candidates running for elections, which harms the objective of the campaign: explaining social projects to the population.
In this crucial period of political competition, it is essential that all candidates, whether they are running for national or provincial office, convey messages of peace, love and unity. Instead of attacking and denigrating their political opponents, they should emphasize their own projects and ideas for the development of the region.
MP Leku Apobo, elected from Mambasa and member of the Caucus, emphasizes the importance of restraint and unity during this electoral period: “It is a democratic fight, but after the elections, there will be life. It is therefore essential that we focus on unity and togetherness rather than division.”
Voters expect candidates to offer them concrete solutions to improve their daily lives and develop the province. It is therefore essential that candidates put aside personal attacks and hate speech, and focus on the real issues for the future of Ituri.
This electoral period is an opportunity to strengthen unity between populations, promote mutual respect and build a better future for all. Candidates have a duty to set an example by leading a respectful and constructive campaign, focused on the interests of the population.
Unity during the electoral campaign in Ituri is essential for the development of the province. Divisions and hate speech will only weaken society. It is time for the candidates to put aside their political differences and work together for the well-being of all Iturians.
In conclusion, the electoral campaign in Ituri must be a moment of gathering, dialogue and unity. Candidates have the responsibility to convey positive and constructive messages, with an emphasis on social projects and concrete solutions. This is how the province can move forward towards a better and emerging future.
