Former minister Jean-Claude Muyambo Kyassa announced on Tuesday his candidacy for the presidency of 2023.
” I am a presidential candidate for the 2023 elections! “, said Tuesday Jean-Claude Muyambo Kyassa cheered by the crowd gathered for his meeting in Lubumbashi. This lawyer born in Kolwezi, in the south of the DRC, was Minister of Social Affairs and Humanitarian Action under the regime of Joseph Kabila. He is now national president of Scode (Congolese Solidarity for Democracy).
When announcing his candidacy, he expressed being ” aware of the suffering of the Congolese population ” and of “ insecurity “. ” We’ll make a deal and we’ll run this country “, he argued before adding that for each problem, “ there is always only one solution: stop distracting us “.
He also announced that he was leaving the Sacred Union of the Nation, President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi’s political platform created at the end of 2020. I saw all the hawks who had to work with President Kabila pour into the Sacred Union. For me, there has not been a change, the reason why I leave the Sacred Union “, did he declare.
The presidential election in the DRC is scheduled for December 20, 2023, said the CENI last November. On this day, the Congolese will be called to the polls to elect their deputies as well as provincial deputies and communal councillors.
