News: The CENI has a technical breakdown to display the electoral lists
In recent news, the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) in the Democratic Republic of Congo is encountering technical difficulties in displaying the electoral lists, as provided for by the electoral law. The CENI proposed an alternative consisting of consulting the lists with an official, which does not satisfy the actors and stakeholders of the Congolese electoral process.
Faced with this situation, the observation mission of the National Episcopal Conference of Congo and the Church of Christ in Congo (MOE CENCO-ECC) reacted by denouncing this decision of the CENI which goes against legal provisions. . According to the MOE CENCO-ECC, all voters, candidates and political parties should be able to consult the lists physically or electronically. She also recommends that the government secure the sites where the electoral lists should be displayed.
For its part, the African Commission for the Supervision of Elections (CASE) denounces the inability of the CENI to display the lists and affirms that the CENI does not have a reliable electoral list. She accuses the commission of playing a tortuous role in the electoral process and highlights the inadequacies of the Congolese government in guaranteeing democratic elections.
Faced with these criticisms, it is necessary for the CENI to take urgent measures to resolve technical problems and guarantee the transparency of the electoral process. It is also imperative that all stakeholders in the process mobilize to ensure free and fair elections, in accordance with the expectations of the Congolese people.
This situation highlights the importance of good organization and adequate planning to ensure the smooth running of elections. The CENI must commit to respecting the electoral law and providing all the necessary information to voters as well as political parties. It is essential that every citizen can exercise their right to vote with complete confidence and that democracy is preserved.
In conclusion, this news highlights the difficulties that the CENI faces in displaying electoral lists. It is essential that measures are taken to guarantee the transparency of the electoral process and ensure the active participation of all stakeholders concerned.
