The training of members of polling stations in Goma, launched by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), marks a crucial step in the electoral process in the Democratic Republic of Congo. More than 3,000 agents spread across 610 polling and counting stations are involved in this training, which aims to ensure the transparent and fair conduct of elections.
The interim provincial executive secretary of the CENI/North Kivu, Mathieu Rutshogoza, recalled the importance of the role of these agents in the rest of the electoral process. Indeed, it is they who will be responsible for counting the ballot papers, establishing the counting reports, and compiling the electoral envelopes intended for the Constitutional Court. Their work is crucial to guaranteeing the legitimacy and transparency of elections.
Mathieu Rutshogoza also stressed the importance of respecting the principles of transparency, independence, inclusiveness, accountability, impartiality, integrity and professionalism throughout the electoral process. These principles are essential to ensure voter confidence and the credibility of results.
Concerning the deployment of equipment, most of the necessary kits have already arrived in the warehouses of each antenna, with the exception of the territory of Walikale where the deployment will be done with the support of MONUSCO.
This training phase marks a crucial step in the preparation of elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She underlines the importance of careful preparation and professionalism of the agents who will be in charge of the polling stations and the counting. We can hope that this will contribute to transparent and fair elections, thereby strengthening democracy in the DRC.
