Next Saturday, the candidate for the presidency of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Moïse Katumbi, will continue his electoral campaign in the towns of Beni and Butembo, in the province of North Kivu, according to information provided by his party. Preparations for this visit have been underway for 48 hours in Beni and are taking place in good conditions. The Ensemble pour la République party, of which Moïse Katumbi is a member, mobilized its activists to warmly welcome him.
This campaign visit is of particular importance, as it will allow Moïse Katumbi to convey a message of compassion and hope to local populations who have been victims of massacres and atrocities perpetrated by ADF terrorists since 2014. In recent years, Beni and Butembo were the scene of deadly violence which caused the death of many innocent civilians. The presence of Moïse Katumbi in these cities aims to show his support and his desire to find lasting solutions to these security crises.
The mobilization to welcome Moïse Katumbi is not limited to his party activists alone. Parties allied to Ensemble pour la République, such as the LGD of Matata Ponyo, are also participating in this mobilization. This unity demonstrates the importance of this electoral campaign for the entire Congolese opposition and its commitment to putting an end to the instability and violence plaguing certain regions of the country.
The prospect of a visit from Moïse Katumbi raises hope among the inhabitants of Beni and Butembo, who aspire to peace and stability. They see him as a leader capable of representing them and defending their interests. Voters are waiting to see how Moïse Katumbi will address the issues of security, economic development and social justice, which are at the heart of their daily concerns.
This electoral campaign is a crucial step in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s quest for fairer and more stable governance. The next few days will be decisive for candidate Moïse Katumbi and his team, who will have to convince voters of their ability to bring real change to the country. We will closely monitor the evolution of this campaign and the future prospects it offers for the DRC.
