Article: A CENI team investigates Masimanimba for transparent elections
A team from the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), led by Didi Manara, went to Masimanimba (Kwilu) to carry out an exploratory mission following the cancellation of votes in this region and for certain legislative candidates last January .
This mission aims to collect essential information with a view to organizing transparent elections in the near future. Didi Manara declared that measures will be taken against those still in their possession of electronic voting devices involved in fraudulent practices.
According to Didi Manara, cases of fraud, corruption, and improper possession of electronic voting devices led to the cancellation of the elections in Masimanimba. This mission aims to ensure that the next elections are conducted fairly and that the elected representatives reflect the will of the people.
The CENI will not only collect information, but also take concrete actions, in particular by taking legal action and the police to pursue those responsible for these electoral irregularities. No one will be spared in this approach aimed at cleaning up the electoral process in Masimanimba.
Last January, the legislative elections in Masimanimba were canceled due to numerous irregularities noted, including the participation of candidates and members of the CENI involved in reprehensible acts. This 10-day mission will include meetings with the local population for direct contact.
Thus, this initiative aims to restore citizen confidence in the electoral process and ensure transparent and democratic elections in Masimanimba. A crucial step in strengthening the legitimacy and integrity of democratic institutions in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
