Candidate Tony Cassius Bolamba calls for the union of presidential candidates in the DRC to face the deterioration of the security situation in the east of the country. In an interview with ACTUALITE.CD, Bolamba proposed organizing a meeting between the candidates in order to discuss the country’s challenges and strengthen national cohesion. He insists on the need to maintain the stability of institutions and to demonstrate calm despite the publication of the provisional results of the presidential election, which show him as the loser.
Bolamba puts forward his vision of austerity and distributive justice to enable the DRC to create a strong middle class. He emphasizes the importance of reducing the government’s lifestyle in order to reallocate resources to low-income citizens. According to him, this will promote consumption and attract investors.
He also refers to the history of the country, recalling the case of Marshal Mobutu who was weakened internally when he faced an external rebellion. Bolamba warns against any weakening of the stability of Congolese institutions in the current context of rebellion in the east of the country.
These statements come as Félix Tshisekedi was provisionally declared winner of the presidential election. Tshisekedi obtained 73.34% of the votes cast, but certain candidates, including Martin Fayulu, Moïse Katumbi and Denis Mukwege, contest the results and denounce fraud.
The next stage is that of electoral disputes before the Constitutional Court, but some candidates exclude the possibility of seizing the Court and request the reorganization of the elections. The political situation in the DRC therefore remains tense and a meeting between all the presidential candidates could help ease tensions and find solutions to ensure the stability of the country.
It is essential to emphasize that the comments attributed to Tony Cassius Bolamba come from a single source and are subject to verification. It is therefore necessary to wait for official statements or other sources to confirm Bolamba’s intentions and proposals.
In conclusion, Tony Cassius Bolamba’s proposal to organize a meeting between presidential candidates in the DRC to strengthen national cohesion and face security challenges is an interesting idea. However, it is important to monitor developments in the political situation and wait for more complete and reliable information before drawing definitive conclusions.
