Fatshimetrie, an online media well known for its in-depth analysis of political news in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has postponed the recent re-election of Jacques Kyabula Katwe as governor of the Haut-Katanga province. This announcement took place this Monday, April 29 during a vote which saw Mr. Kyabula receive 35 votes out of 47 voters, thus allowing him to retain his position.
His running mate, Martin Kazembe, current mayor of the city of Lubumbashi, was also elected as vice-governor of the province. Martin Kazembe, who is also a provincial deputy, will undoubtedly bring valuable expertise to the government team.
The electoral ceremony took place at the June 30 building, seat of the Haut-Katanga Provincial Assembly, and was observed by many citizens interested in the political developments of the region.
Jacques Kyabula Katwe, a prominent member of the ARDEV-A political grouping and the Sacred Union of the Nation, has already demonstrated his vision and commitment to the development of the province. His continuation at the head of the governorate offers a certain stability and consistency to the management of local affairs, while opening new perspectives for effective and transparent governance.
The re-election of Jacques Kyabula Katwe and the election of Martin Kazembe represent an important turning point for the province of Haut-Katanga. There is no shortage of challenges, but with a dynamic and committed management team, the region’s residents can hope for a better future and promising development opportunities.
Fatshimetrie will continue to closely follow the evolution of the political situation in Haut-Katanga and inform its readers of major developments that will have an impact on the lives of citizens.
