Title: Preparation for the re-election of Félix Tshisekedi: A discreet task force at work
Introduction: Félix Tshisekedi, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is setting in motion his strategic machine in view of the general elections scheduled for December 20. To secure a second term, the Head of State has set up a discreet task force within the Presidency of the Republic. Today, we’ll dive behind the scenes of this strategic team and examine the preparations for Félix Tshisekedi’s re-election campaign.
1. A discreet task force at the service of re-election
For several months, a task force has been operating discreetly within the Presidency of the Republic. Composed of loyal members and political advisers, this team aims to prepare the re-election of Félix Tshisekedi. Their work is mainly focused on preparations for the election campaign, which should begin in September with the filing of candidacies.
2. The support of the Sacred Union of the Nation
Félix Tshisekedi enjoys the support of the Sacred Union of the Nation, a political platform bringing together several major figures in Congolese politics. Figures such as Jean-Pierre Bemba, Vital Kamerhe, Bahati Lukwebo and former members of Joseph Kabila’s FCC support the president’s re-election. This political alliance strengthens Tshisekedi’s chances of obtaining a second term.
3. A divided opposition
Faced with Felix Tshisekedi, the opposition is divided as to his participation in the next elections. While some leaders, such as Joseph Kabila and Martin Fayulu, abstain for various reasons, others, such as Moïse Katumbi, Delly Sesanga, Matata Ponyo and Adolphe Muzito, want to go all the way and present their candidacy. However, it remains to be seen whether these different opposition factions will manage to agree on a common presidential candidacy.
Conclusion: The re-election of Félix Tshisekedi is being actively prepared behind the scenes with the establishment of a task force dedicated to his electoral campaign. Supported by the Sacred Union of the Nation and facing a divided opposition, the Congolese president has the trump card to pursue his mission at the head of the country
