CDJP Electoral Observers are preparing for the December 2023 elections
The Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission (CDJP) of Mahagi-Nioka is actively preparing for the general elections scheduled for December 20, 2023. With the objective of guaranteeing a transparent and fair democratic process, the CDJP of Mahagi-Nioka will deploy more than 750 electoral observers in the territories of Mahagi, Aru in Ituri and Faradje in the neighboring province of Haut Uélé.
These observers will play a crucial role in monitoring the conduct of the elections, ensuring compliance with the rules and reporting any irregularities or potential fraud. They will work closely with electoral authorities and security forces to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
Father Silvain Drileyo, coordinator of the CDJP, underlined the importance of the mission of electoral observers in the consolidation of democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He also called on citizens to be vigilant and exercise their right to vote responsibly.
This initiative of the CDJP of Mahagi-Nioka demonstrates the commitment of the Congolese Catholic Church to the promotion of social justice and peace. By collaborating with civil authorities and civil society actors, the CDJP actively contributes to the construction of a fairer and more peaceful Congolese society.
The next elections will be a crucial meeting for the political future of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to the involvement of the CDJP of Mahagi-Nioka and its electoral observers, it is hoped that these elections will take place in compliance with democratic standards and that they will contribute to strengthening the legitimacy of institutions and the confidence of citizens in the electoral process.
In conclusion, the mobilization of electoral observers from the Mahagi-Nioka CDJP is a concrete example of the importance of citizen participation in building a solid and transparent democracy. This initiative deserves to be welcomed and supported, as it contributes to promoting free and fair elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
