The recent presidential elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo have generated great interest both nationally and internationally. And among the candidates in the running, Félix Tshisekedi, current head of state, particularly attracts attention. His electoral campaign began yesterday in the city of Bukavu, where a reinforced security system was put in place to ensure the security of the event.
From the morning, large military and police forces were deployed throughout the city of Bukavu. Armed men are present every ten meters, from the Ruzizi 1 border to Kavumu airport. This measure aims to ensure a secure environment for the arrival of President Tshisekedi and his planned meeting on Independence Square.
The mobilization of supporters of the Sacred Union, a political coalition to which Félix Tshisekedi belongs, is also visible on site. Flags and effigies of members of the Sacred Union were installed overnight in preparation for the event. The presidium of the Sacred Union held a preliminary meeting to raise awareness among residents of the success of this presidential visit.
After his meeting in Bukavu, Félix Tshisekedi will go to Shabunda before continuing his tour in the other territories of the province. This electoral campaign is of particular importance for the outgoing president, who is running for his own succession. He is counting on the support of his supporters to rally as many votes as possible for the next elections.
Félix Tshisekedi’s visit to Bukavu is a significant event in this presidential campaign. The increased presence of security forces demonstrates the importance given to the security of the president and participants in this major political event. The next few days will be decisive for the outgoing president, who hopes to convince voters to renew their confidence in him.
In conclusion, Félix Tshisekedi’s electoral campaign in Bukavu started under high security. Authorities have taken steps to ensure a secure environment for the president and supporters of the Sacred Union. This visit is of great importance for the outgoing president, who is counting on the support of the population to continue to lead the country. The next few days will be crucial for the outcome of this presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
