Title: Political games after the election: Vital Kamerhe and the formation of a new political platform
Introduction :
After the election, political games begin within the Sacred Union of the Nation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Vital Kamerhe, president of the Union for the Nation (UNC), leaves nothing to chance and is already launching hostilities by forming a new political platform. This initiative aims to consolidate its position and obtain a key role in sharing responsibilities within the presidential camp. This article will look at the motivations of Vital Kamerhe and the resulting political issues.
The strategic choice of the new platform:
Vital Kamerhe did not take this decision lightly. He is aware of the rise in power of the UDPS/Tshisekedi and knows that going alone could put him in a weak position. In order to preserve his influence and have a say in power sharing, he gathered other political forces around him. This alliance will allow him to have greater influence on the political scene and to claim a place of choice, in particular that of head of Government.
An influential political platform:
The new political platform led by Vital Kamerhe brings together a quartet of political weight, with the participation of Jean Lucien Bussa, Tony Shiku and Julien Paluku. Together, they already claim 231 elected representatives, including 101 national deputies and more than 120 provincial deputies. This union strengthens their position and represents a significant force in the Congolese political landscape. They intend to play their role in the debates and negotiations around the sharing of responsibilities within the Sacred Union of the Nation.
The stakes of the battle for the Prime Minister’s Office:
Vital Kamerhe has a clear goal in mind: to become head of Government. This function would allow it to implement its policies and achieve its ambitions. However, he knows that the competition will be tough, particularly with the rise in power of the UDPS/Tshisekedi. He fears being crushed on the way to the battle for the Prime Minister’s office. This is why he surrounds himself with additional political forces to strengthen his position and maximize his chances of success.
Conclusion :
Post-election political games are already underway in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Vital Kamerhe, leader of the UNC, launched a new political platform with the aim of consolidating his position and obtaining a key role in sharing responsibilities within the Sacred Union of the Nation. With the support of Jean Lucien Bussa, Tony Shiku and Julien Paluku, he intends to weigh in on political debates and negotiations. The battle for the Prime Minister’s office promises to be intense and only time will tell if Vital Kamerhe’s strategies will bear fruit.
