Félix Tshisekedi has formalized his candidacy for a second term as president of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Surrounded by members of the presidential majority, including the Prime Minister and the presidents of the National Assembly and the Senate, Tshisekedi submitted his candidacy file to the Electoral Commission this Saturday. This announcement follows the congresses of his party, the UDPS, and the platform of the Sacred Union of the Nation (USN), which nominated him as the sole candidate.
In his speech to the Electoral Commission, Tshisekedi explained that he wanted to continue the fight for the country’s economic independence and stressed the importance of security to promote development. Dressed in white, he then walked through the streets of Kinshasa, surrounded by sympathizers and journalists.
This candidacy, presented as independent since the Sacred Union does not yet have legal personality, marks an important step in the presidential race. The registration office will close in a few hours, and other contenders will try to find a place in the race.
This announcement is already generating numerous comments and reactions. Some praise Tshisekedi’s achievements during his first term, including his commitment to economic independence and his desire to promote peace and security. Others highlight the challenges awaiting the country, particularly on the economic and security levels.
The presidential race in the DRC promises to be intense, with many candidates seeking to convince voters. The coming months will therefore be crucial for the country, which will have to make a decisive choice for its future. It remains to be seen who will manage to stand out in this political competition and propose concrete solutions to meet the expectations of the Congolese population. To be continued.
