The 90 days that separate us from the presidential and legislative elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo are synonymous with intense political activity. And among the actors who are fully committed to this crucial period for the country, the political party Ensemble pour la République of Moïse Katumbi stands out for its civic and electoral education campaign initiative entitled “Marathon towards victory”.
The objective of this campaign is clear: to educate the Congolese population about the importance of a useful vote which will provide the country with strong institutions capable of bringing about the desired changes. This is a laudable step, because it is essential that each citizen understands the importance of their voice in this democratic process.
It is also interesting to note that Moïse Katumbi’s party is taking this opportunity to denounce the continued state of siege in certain regions of the country. According to them, this measure could constitute a strategy aimed at excluding part of the electorate from the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri, which would have a significant impact on the outcome of the elections. An important question which deserves to be taken into account and which underlines the importance of guaranteeing fair conditions for all voters.
With this in mind, the party also requests the urgent summoning of the Prime Minister to the National Assembly in order to answer questions concerning the “Goma massacre” perpetrated by the police. A legitimate request which aims to shed light on this tragic event and ensure that justice is done.
In short, the “Marathon towards victory” campaign launched by Moïse Katumbi’s Ensemble pour la République party is an important step in mobilizing the Congolese population in view of the upcoming elections. It emphasizes civic and electoral education, while denouncing worrying events that could influence the democratic process. Hopefully, it will help strengthen citizen participation and ensure transparent and fair elections for the future of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
