The Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) has just announced the forthcoming holding of its extraordinary congress for the nomination of its candidate for the presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This congress, scheduled for August 25 to 26, is of capital importance for the ruling party, which will have to choose who will wear its colors in the election scheduled for December 20.
During a talk on the esplanade of the headquarters of Limete, Augustin Kabuya, secretary general of the UDPS, launched an appeal to all members of the party to choose Félix Tshisekedi, current president of the Republic, as their candidate. to his own estate. This announcement comes in a context where the country is facing many political and economic challenges, and where the issue of political stability is crucial to ensure the development and social progress of the country.
However, this declared desire to support President Tshisekedi is not without causing a stir within the party. Indeed, Augustin Kabuya took the opportunity to warn all members who would try to destabilize the Head of State. He cited as an example the exclusion of Hubert Mukuna and three other members of the party, following the organization of a congress to choose a new candidate outside the pre-established frameworks of the UDPS. This displayed firmness aims to preserve the unity of the party and to remove any risk of internal division which could harm the political dynamic put in place by President Tshisekedi.
In addition, the question of the legislative and provincial elections also arises, with more than 700 candidates within the UDPS for these electoral deadlines. This is a major challenge for the ruling party, which is seeking to consolidate its political position in the country’s various decision-making bodies.
In conclusion, the extraordinary congress of the UDPS is of crucial importance for the political future of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The choice of the candidate for the presidential election as well as the upcoming legislative elections are all issues that will determine the political course of the country in the years to come. It remains to be seen whether the party will be able to show unity and cohesion to face the challenges that arise and work for the development and social progress of the Congolese nation.
