The Congolese opposition continues to demonstrate its firm opposition to attempts to modify the Constitution in the Democratic Republic of Congo. At the heart of this political struggle is the party led by the tireless Martin Fayulu, Commitment for Citizenship and Development (ECIDE).
During a recent program on Top Congo, the Secretary General of ECIDE, Devos Kitoko, reaffirmed his party’s determination to prevent Félix Tshisekedi from extending his mandate beyond 2028, the year of the theoretical end of his term. second presidential term. Kitoko sharply criticized Tshisekedi’s record in power, accusing him of financial plunder and denouncing the lack of significant progress during his mandate.
According to Devos Kitoko, any attempt at constitutional amendment to allow Tshisekedi to remain in power after 2028 would be unacceptable, an affront to the country’s democratic integrity. He highlighted the launch of a mobilization campaign against this eventuality, with actions planned in the Congolese provinces in the near future.
ECIDE’s assertions reveal fierce opposition to what they consider to be a potential authoritarian drift. Their commitment to protecting the Constitution and democratic change constitutes an essential counterweight to the power in place.
In a tense political context, where the issues of governance and democracy are at the heart of the debates, this clear position of the opposition highlights the fault lines that divide Congolese society. Calls for vigilance and citizen mobilization are intensifying, fueling a tense but necessary political climate to defend the country’s democratic foundations.
ECIDE and its allies remain determined to make their voices heard and defend democratic principles against any potential attack. As political tension rises in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country’s political future remains uncertain, but the voice of the opposition resonates forcefully to remind us of the importance of democracy and the rule of law.
