On December 28, the CENI published the partial results of the presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Out of the 179 electoral constituencies, Félix Tshisekedi maintained a significant lead with more than 10 million votes in the partial results. Despite protests and calls to cancel the elections, the outgoing President has maintained a lead that is now impossible for his opponents to catch up with. These results demonstrate the desire of the Congolese people to renew their confidence in Tshisekedi to continue reforms and lead the country towards a better future.
Constant Mutamba’s congratulatory message:
In this tense electoral context, it is notable that Constant Mutamba, candidate number 2 in the presidential election under the DYPRO label, chose to send a message of congratulations to Félix Tshisekedi for his re-election. In his message, published on his X account, Mutamba recognizes Tshisekedi’s brilliant victory and wishes him every success for his second five-year term. This gesture of political fair play is to be welcomed, because it demonstrates maturity and respect for democratic principles on the part of Mutamba. Instead of contesting the results or taking part in the protests, he chose to support the elected President and encourage national unity in the pursuit of reforms.
