"Felix Tshisekedi elected 5th President of the DRC", announces the Congolese News Agency, ACP, in its delivery of this Thursday. Indeed, the president of the UDPS, one of the principal candidates of the Opposition and leader of CACH, “Cap pour le changement” means way toward the change, was elected on Thursday 5th President of the Republic with 38,57% of the Plenary assembly of the independent national electoral Commission, CENI, of evaluation and deliberation of the provisional results of the presidential election of December 30, 2018.

The president of the CENI, Corneille Nangaa who carried out the publication of these results, pointed out that he obtained 7,053,000 votes out of 18,280,830 votes validly expressed with a rate of participation of 47,56%.

FORUM DES AS reports, in the same register, during his declaration on the Top Congo radio after his victory, Felix Tshisekedi let know that he does not consider the outgoing President Joseph Kabila as his enemy, but rather like « allied in alternation». He thanks the chairman of the CENI to have respected the word, by saying that he will not be left intimidated, but will rather make triumph the truth over the ballot boxes.And it is what is done, he said.

According to LE POTENTIEL, Felix Tshisekedi arrives at the orders of the DRC in a very agitated political context. Undoubtedly, he will have to compose with an opposition which will be probably controlled by his former friends of "Lamuka", this coalition formed at the time of the agreement of Geneva which the UDPS and the UNC finally refuted.

Though it is, this newspaper reveals, the hardest for the new President will be to constitute a parliamentary majority to have the control of the government. On this specific point, he can already rely on the deal that his coalition CACH concluded, well before the proclamation of the results, with the FCC. One must expect a Cach-FCC majority at the new national assembly.

"Kabila, the biggest winner", L’AVENIR affirms in article published in its interior pages. While not standing for a third mandate, President Kabila remained constant. Him, whose political action is dictated by the love of the fatherland and the respect of commitments.

He yielded to no pressure, like certain scandalmongers, accustomed to denature the facts, tried, hopelessly to say it. Remain, however, to understand why he did not make pass his dolphin in force, as the international community lent the intention to him. It is a strategic choice, coming from a man who carried out a major though on the development of his country, the future of the democracy, the peace and the social condition of his population.

What to say then of the victory of Felix Tshisekedi, LA PROSPERITE questions. The colleague notes that many are those who shout to the mirage. They quite simply speak about a miracle, plan of God or crowning of a long fight of the UDPS.

In the various places, others question and evoke the idea of a strategy, for the FCC with Kabila at the head, to be a true dolphin in the rows of a divided opposition.
