During this turbulent period in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the news revolves around the elections of provincial governors and vice-governors. National MP Godé Mpoy, an influential and respected figure, expressed his opinion on the relevance of holding these elections. He describes them as “staticide” and “developmenticide”, thus calling into question their impact on the country.
Faced with this observation, Godé Mpoy proposes an interesting alternative: move to the appointment of governors and vice-governors rather than organizing elections. He suggests to President Félix Tshisekedi to request a ruling from the Constitutional Court to put this process in place, in accordance with article 69 of the Constitution.
This debate around the method of selecting provincial leaders comes as the dates of elections for senators and governors were recently postponed. The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) published a new calendar, setting the senatorial elections for April 21 and the elections for governors and vice-governors for April 28.
This proposal from Godé Mpoy raises important questions about democracy and governance in the DRC. It is essential to debate these crucial subjects for the future of the country and to ensure a stable and effective political transition.
