The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) of the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to publish partial results of the presidential election, attracting keen attention and reactions across the country. The latest published figures show a significant lead for Félix Tshisekedi in several key constituencies.
In the Lukunga constituency, the results of 80% of polling stations were taken into account. Félix Tshisekedi occupies first place with 82% of the votes cast, while Moïse Katumbi follows him with 8% and Martin Fayulu with 6%. These figures reflect the popularity of Tshisekedi which seems to be gaining ground.
The results in the capital Kinshasa confirm this trend. In the constituencies of Mont-Amba, Funa and Tshangu, Félix Tshisekedi is in the lead with high percentages of votes. In Mont-Amba, considered a stronghold of the UDPS, Tshisekedi won 84.54% of the votes, while Martin Fayulu and Moïse Katumbi ranked second and third respectively.
Generally speaking, Félix Tshisekedi maintains his leading position with 79% of the votes in all the consolidated results at this stage in the country. Moïse Katumbi follows him with 14% and Martin Fayulu with 3%. These figures are subject to change as full results are released.
These partial results give rise to debate and criticism. Some support Tshisekedi’s victory, believing that he embodies change and hope for a better DRC. Others question the accuracy of the results and express doubts about the transparency of the electoral process.
Throughout this electoral period, the DRC has been faced with political tensions and important issues. The publication of partial results further agitates the political landscape, with supporters of different candidates expressing their joy or disappointment.
It is important to note that these partial results are not final and that the CENI has yet to announce the full results. It is also crucial that the electoral process takes place transparently and in accordance with democratic standards.
In the days to come, the country will be waiting for the announcement of the final results and the official proclamation of the next president of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Whoever wins, the country’s political future will be deeply impacted and people’s expectations will be high.
