Political news is in turmoil in Congo with the electoral campaign of outgoing President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. The head of state, who is seeking a second term, continues his tour across the country to convince voters to renew their confidence in him and his policies.
During a popular meeting in Mbanza-Ngungu, capital of the territory of the same name in the province of Kongo-Central, Félix Tshisekedi called on the population to vote for him and for the candidates of the Sacred Union in the legislative elections, national and provincial. He stressed the importance of obtaining a parliamentary majority to implement his policy and promise to advance universal health coverage and develop the country’s territories.
President Tshisekedi emphasizes the revival of agriculture and the fight against unemployment by supporting the private sector and entrepreneurship. He also urges the population not to vote for candidates who have links to Rwanda, considered an aggressor country of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This electoral campaign is therefore an opportunity for Félix Tshisekedi to present his projects and solicit the support of voters. Its policy focused on economic and social development and the preservation of national sovereignty seems to resonate with the population.
Confidence in the outgoing president seems palpable in these popular gatherings, where voters express their desire to renew their support for Félix Tshisekedi. It remains to be seen whether this confidence will translate into re-election in the presidential elections.
In conclusion, the electoral campaign of Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo arouses the enthusiasm of voters who see in him a guarantor of the stability, development and sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It remains to be seen whether this support will translate into a re-election as president of the country.
