The very last stay of the Congolese Head of State in Belgium is starting to reveal the real issues of this very discreet trip. As the guarantor of the proper functioning and balance of institutions, Félix Tshisekedi wants to ensure the unfailing independence of the Congolese National Electoral Commission (CENI) with a view to a credible electoral process by 2023. Also, the first Congolese citizen has set his sights on one of his compatriots, a renowned scientist operating on Belgian soil, in this case Bob Kabamba. The latter is working to set the scene for a broad consensus around the organic framework of the Electoral Center, the mechanism for appointing its leaders as well as the resolution of electoral disputes. A new dialogue is therefore on the horizon.
Still in this same context, the collective of 13 leaders including Professor Jacques Djoli and the respectable political actor Henri Thomas Lokondo, entered the dance on July 11. These elites have launched an appeal to the political class and the Congolese population on the consensus in the electoral process of 2023. This is not a trivial fact given the scientific links between Professor Bob Kabamba, expert associated with the drafting of the Constitution of February 18, 2006, and some of these leaders.
In this process of broad consensus, two leading religious denominations, the Catholic Church via CENCO and the Protestant Church, have already given their agreement in principle for a forum of electoral experts in order to get out of the situation. dead end, of the crisis. While street demonstrations were being made in Kinshasa and in the hinterland to block the road to the cavalier designation of Ronsard Malonda as successor to Corneille Nangaa at the head of the CENI, Bob Kabamba traveled to Nkamba with a view to discuss with the Kimbanguist spiritual leader on this burning issue.
This initiative is moving forward without making too much noise. This is supported by Western powers including Belgium, Great Britain, the European Union and the USA in order to guarantee the DRC credible and free elections to turn the page on past chaotic electoral cycles. With his legal and political cap, Bob Kabamba spoke with Azarias Ruberwa, the Minister in charge of institutional reforms. He would also have imbibed the CENI reform proposal from National Deputy Christophe Lutundula, which has been sent to the office of the National Assembly since September 2019.
By declaring that the delegates of two camps, FCC – CACH, tried as far as possible to iron out the differences, the President of the DRC set the tone for what is taking place in the most complete discretion: an electoral dialogue. A second tête-à-tête Félix Tshisekedi – Bob Kabamba is planned for practical arrangements that would allow a soft landing. What will be the terms of reference?
The 13 political and social leaders and personalities have undoubtedly enlightened public opinion on this concern. Seek consensus on the electoral process which will have to deal with the issues of CENI reforms, constitutional revision, revision consisting in reducing the elections to two rounds, the essential orientations on the electoral law and the installation of the new office of the CENI. The call to all to transcend divisions of all kinds in order to progress on the path of national harmony and respect for republican and democratic values.
For its part, the Lay Coordinating Committee (CLC) requires first of all the hearing and examination of the activity report of the outgoing CENI team, including the audit of the accounts and expenditure made as well as the revision of the CENI law.
Having no personal ambition in the DRC, scientist Bob Kabamba has the advantage of reassuring and speaking to all parties involved. His perfect knowledge of the entire political class as well as of the Congolese Constitution, of which he participated in the development, is proven. As well as the competence of this Congolese teacher at the University of Liège in Belgium. This is why he was appointed to lead an electoral dialogue in the land of his ancestors. It is in the approach that excludes any equitable and balanced sharing of power. The President of the Republic would not have seen any inconvenience if such an initiative succeeded.
