Avenue des Huileries in Kinshasa will be closed to traffic on Saturday December 20, 2024 to welcome the inauguration of President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo for his second term at the head of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This solemn event will bring together distinguished guests, and the avenue will be reserved exclusively for their access.
According to the Minister of Communication and Media, Patrick Muyaya, all other routes will be open, but those going to the stadium are asked to show levity and cooperation during security checks. The stadium doors will open at 6 a.m., and all participants are asked to have a national flag in their hands to demonstrate their attachment to the nation.
The inauguration of the President of the Republic will take place in three phases. First, there will be the welcome of the president, followed by the opening of the audience where he will take the oath and receive the attributes of power such as the national flag and the constitution. Finally, the president will deliver an inauguration speech in which he will present his program for the new term.
To understand the importance of this inauguration, Professor Ndaywel recalled the inaugurations of previous presidents since the independence of the DRC in 1960. These ceremonies mark the start of a new mandate and have evolved over the years, moving from Supreme Court to the Constitutional Court as the place of taking the oath.
The inauguration of President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo in 2019 was a historic moment for the DRC, and this second inauguration confirms his leadership and marks an important step in the political stability of the country.
It will be interesting to follow this event and observe future developments in the DRC under the leadership of the re-elected president. This inauguration is an opportunity for the country to strengthen its international relations, attract investments and promote sustainable development and the development of its population.
In conclusion, Avenue des Huileries will be the scene of the inauguration of President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo on December 20, 2024. This event will mark the start of a new mandate and represents a crucial stage in the political history of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
