Title: Submission of candidacy for the 2023 presidential election: Abraham Ngalasi and Justin Mudekereza launch the race for the CENI
Introduction :
The 2023 presidential race in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is intensifying with the submission of two remarkable candidacies to the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). Abraham Ngalasi, leader of the Praise Church, and Justin Mudekereza, president of the elite Movement for Democracy and Real Change (MDVC), both submitted their candidacy files last Wednesday. This announcement attracted media attention and is already sparking discussions among the Congolese population.
Abraham Ngalasi: A pastor mandated by God to bless the Congolese nation
Abraham Ngalasi, head of the Louange church, claimed to have been mandated by God to submit his candidacy for the 2023 presidential election. Accompanied by faithful and supporters of his church, he declared that the Lord’s time had come for the DRC. Ngalasi positions himself as a figure of the political center, claiming not to be affiliated with the majority or the opposition. He also insisted that he was not seeking to criticize the ongoing electoral process, but had simply responded to God’s call.
Justin Mudekereza: A voice for change and rebuilding
For his part, Justin Mudekereza, president of the MDVC, submitted his candidacy with the aim of ridding the country of the system of embezzlement of public funds. He invites the Congolese to take their destiny into their own hands by voting massively for reforms and the rebuilding of the country. Mudekereza wants to bring about real political change by putting an end to the corrupt practices that have hampered the development of the DRC for too long.
Important issues for the future of the DRC
The submission of these applications raises major issues for the future of the DRC. The Congolese population aspires to real political change and the implementation of reforms that will promote the development of the country. Candidates will therefore have to convince voters of their ability to bring about this long-awaited transformation. The upcoming electoral campaign promises to be lively, with multiple debates and discussions on the programs and visions of each candidate.
Conclusion :
The submission of the candidacies of Abraham Ngalasi and Justin Mudekereza for the 2023 presidential election marks a new stage in the democratic process in the DRC. These two personalities, one from a religious background and the other engaged in political combat, represent different options for Congolese voters. The looming electoral battle raises important questions about the future of the country and the aspirations of the population in terms of change and development. It remains to be seen what the voters’ reaction will be and which candidate will be able to convince the majority of them.
