Speaking about the election of senators on March 15, LE POTENTIEL mentions on its cover: "Corruption on a large scale, the Senate: an institution covered with opprobrium". Once again, it is the FCC that emerged the winner of the senatorial of March 15, 2019, the newspaper notes. Renowned chamber of the wise, the Senate will struggle to assert itself, as long as the majority of its members are from a vast corruption that surrounded their election, the newspaper reveals, to the point that the UDPS has left very fragile. In provinces where the party of the Head of State was highly anticipated, LE POTENTIEL let know, the UDPS got a very meager harvest, betrayed by its own provincial deputies who have thrown themselves in the arms of the FCC, the newspaper concluded.
For its part, the newspaper AFRICA NEWS, mentions in its front page: "Supporters got angry against elected provincial deputies, sack and kill, the president does not blame them, UDPS overflowing, Felix complacent." Contrary to the events of the University of Lubumbashi, at the origin of the indignation of the Presidency of the Republic and the arrest of the executioners in Kinshasa, Mbuyi-Mayi, Kananga and Goma, acts of barbarism and killings perpetrated by the activists of the CACH / UDPS were not sentenced at the Palais de la Nation, nor any message of support addressed to the victims ... the tabloid entions.
On the same subject, L’AVENIR reports that: "Senate elections, the FCC's satisfaction". As the national and provincial legislatures, the FCC has a very large majority senatorial March 15, the newspaper mentions. Thanks to these elections held in 24 provinces out of 26 of the country, the DRC has just renewed, for the first time since 2007, the upper house of Parliament, L'AVENIR reports.
"By obtaining a very large majority of more than two-thirds in the Senate, the FCC, which welcomes this overwhelming victory, confirms its preponderance as the first political force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo," Néhémie Mwilanya said, FCC National Coordinator, congratulating the elected senators and all the deputies who have observed the discipline and cohesion recommended by the FCC's moral authority, Joseph Kabila Kabange.
FORUM DES AS, meanwhile, reports that: "Confusion around the senatorial, Fatshi gets involved in", After the crazy days of Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16 in Kinshasa and Mbuji-Mayi, important decisions of Felix Tshisekedi are expected today Monday, the newspaper reveals. An announcement according to him, was made by the Director of Cabinet in a statement signed on weekend, Vital Kamerhe specified in a statement that an important inter institutional meeting will be held Monday, March 18, after publication Friday, of the results of the senatorial electons which provoked riots in some cities of the country-mainly in Kinshasa and Mbuji-Mayi.
Always in the same way, LA PROSPERITE mentions in its head: "UDPS and Allies disappointed, corruption: Laurent Batumona invites Félix Tshisekedi to play his role". It is inconceivable that the candidates of the UDPS and Allies cannot obtain seats within the Senate. It is in these terms that the spokesperson of this platform reacted during a press conference he organized yesterday, Sunday, March 17, in the morning. He invites the Attorney General to rely on the public statements of some leaders who have simply chosen to withdraw because of the demands of corruption. On that occasion, he called on the President of the Republic to play his role in order to stabilize the situation, which is going very badly because of corruption.
