Article: Constant Mutamba congratulates Félix Tshisekedi on his re-election as president of the DRC
In a gesture of fair play and democratic respect, Constant Mutamba, one of the presidential candidates in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), congratulated Félix Tshisekedi on his re-election as president of the country.
Through a message published on his Twitter account, Constant Mutamba welcomed the partial results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), which give a comfortable lead to Félix Tshisekedi.
“With more than 10 million votes from the partial results, we will no longer be able to catch up with our challenger Tshisekedi. So, I congratulate him on his brilliant re-election and wish him every success for his 2nd five-year term. Long live democracy!”, declared Constant Mutamba.
The cumulative results published by the CENI show that Félix Tshisekedi won more than 8 million votes, or more than 76% of the votes cast. He is thus ahead of Moïse Katumbi, who has less than two million votes, or a little more than 16%.
This announcement of Felix Tshisekedi as winner of the presidential election follows a declaration by the electoral observation mission of the Catholic and Protestant churches, which affirmed that one candidate had obtained more than half of the votes than the others, without name it explicitly. The mission also called on the CENI to publish the provisional results taking into account the reports of local compilation centers, with the aim of guaranteeing peace and transparency.
The re-election of Félix Tshisekedi marks a promising new mandate for the DRC. With such an electoral majority, he will have to put in place ambitious policies to meet the expectations of the Congolese people and continue the development of the country.
This act of congratulations from Constant Mutamba testifies to the spirit of democracy and respect for the electoral results in the DRC. It is important to underline the importance of such attitudes in the democratic process, which strengthen the legitimacy of elected officials and confidence in institutions.
In conclusion, Félix Tshisekedi is congratulated by Constant Mutamba for his re-election as president of the DRC. This recognition demonstrates the importance of democratic respect and the consolidation of institutions to ensure a prosperous future for the Congolese nation.
