Since the publication of the provisional results by the independent national electoral Commission (CENI), making of Felix-Antoine Tshilombo Tshisekedi 5th president of the democratic Republic of Congo, comments come from everywhere. For some, this last did not win the elections. For the others, his victory is the result of an agreement between the camp of the UDPS and that of the current power leads by the outgoing president, Joseph Kabila Kabange. Many supporters who express mistrust towards the throwers of Joseph Kabila, question themselves how the majority in the power could, at the time of the combined polls of December 30, 2018, lose the presidential and got the three quarter of the seats to the National Assembly.
This confusion seems to be maintained by a certain opposition in loss of speed. Actually, he perfectly knows what the Constitution of the Republic says on these subjects, but would like quite simply to maintain confusion within the population, in order to handle it at the proper time. According to certain analysts, the opposition had been focused so much on the presidential one and granted less place in his propaganda to the legislative and provincial elections.
In front of the political family of Joseph Kabila which got nearly 350 seats within the Lower House of the Parliament, the country will know its first cohabitation of the history between the FCC and Felix Antoine Tshisekedi, think certain political analysts, thus evacuating any possibility to widen the FCC with the UDPS. This cohabitation rises from the provisions of article 78 of the Constitution, which stipulates:"the President of the Republic names the Prime Minister within the parliamentary majority after consultation of this one.
He puts an end to his functions on presentation by this one of the resignation of the government "And subparagraph 2 to continue:"if such a majority does not exist, the President of the Republic entrusts a mission of information to a personality in order to identify a coalition. The mission of information has thirty days, renewable only once Alinea 3). The President of the Republic names the other members of the government and puts an end to their functions on a proposal of the Prime Minister (subparagraph 4)". In light, current presidential Majority preserves, better reinforces, its prevalence at the Parliament. In comparison with the provisional results of legislative, the first force in the new Lower House, which will be installed on next 26 January, remains the PPRD, follow-up of the AFDC.
The UDPS comes in third position, and “le Regroupement Alliance pour l'Avenir” of honorable Pius Muabilu Mbayu Mukala finishes the march. Like did not cease pointing it the spokesman of the presidential Majority, the Ambassador André-Alain Atundu, the discussions are in this cohabitation. For his part, honorable Pius Muabilu, while reassuring the elected president of his support and of his availability to be worked with him, forecasts no conflict cohabitation, to the profit of the congolese people which wanted it. What wants to say that Kabila never signed agreement with Tshisekedi in which they would share the presidency of the Republic and the Parliament-That is known as to dissipate any ambiguity likely to cause disproportionate reactions of the population.
