Africa-Press – Angola. Democratic Congolese citizens expressed their hope that President Felix Tshisekedi’s second term will bring improvements in the living conditions of the population.
The desire was expressed in a round in Kinshasa, in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), on the eve of Felix Tshisekedi’s investiture for a second five-year term.
Elder Armane Togululu urged the re-elected President to create conditions for improving the living conditions of citizens.
Armande also calls for greater job opportunities for youth.
Taxi driver Mobaia Mobaia defended the reduction in fuel prices and a greater focus on public transport.
The public transport driver is in the fight against inflation, due to the constant rise in inflation, with negative impacts on prices.
Trader Minuta Ngulungo lamented the lack of opportunities for young people, even educated ones, and hopes that the President will fulfill his electoral promises.
While some applaud Felix Tshisekedi’s empowerment, the opposition has called for several demonstrations to contest the result.
Félix Tshisekedi was re-elected in the presidential elections on December 20th, with 73.34% of the votes, according to data from the Congolese Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI).
Of the general results, Tshisekedi was seconded by Moïse Katumbi, former governor of Katanga (18.08%), Martin Fayulu, leader of the opposition (5.33%) and Adolphe Muzito (1.12%).
The approximately twenty other candidates, including Denis Mukwege, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, did not reach 1% of the vote.
Felix Tshikedi came to power in January 2019 after winning the elections of January 30, 2018, succeeding Joseph Kabila, in an election considered historic because it was the first time that the country elected a Head of State, through direct and universal.
