<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe turbulent central African nation, a vast and impoverished country of about 100 million people, is due to hold parliamentary and presidential votes on December 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tshisekedi, who came to power after an election in 2018, officially submitted his candidacy for a second five-year term in office in the capital Kinshasa on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He thereby joins over a dozen opposition candidates, including political heavyweights and senior members of the previous administration, but the opposition is far from unified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the fractured opposition, the 60-year-old president is thought to stand a strong chance of winning again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He’s in a good position,” said Congolese political scientist Christian Moleka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He’s the incumbent, he has the resources of the state, people still believe in him and he’s managed to build strategic alliances,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The divided political opposition would need to unite around a single candidate to stand a chance of beating Tshisekedi, according to Moleka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that possibility appears slim. Several opposition figures who have something prove have thrown their hats in the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moise Katumbi, a business magnate and former governor of then-Katanga province is amongst those running. He had been barred from contesting the 2018 vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fellow candidate Martin Fayulu says he won the popular vote in 2018 and that Tshisekedi took the presidency illegitimately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobel-Prize winner Denis Mukwege’s entry into the race has complicated matters further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The surgical gynecologist and winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, for his work with sexual assault victims, announced his candidacy on October 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has “moral authority,” said a diplomat in Kinshasa, who declined to be named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- ‘Aggressive mode’ –<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Still, Mukwege is also little known outside of his native eastern DRC, and is viewed negatively in some quarters as a Western-backed candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Announcing his presidential bid this month, Mukwege told supporters that “unity of all forces” is needed to change the DRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mukwege is open to forming alliances, said Moleka, the political scientist, noting that it remains to seen whether other opposition figures are of a similar mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several analysts argue that should one unifying opposition candidate emerge, the move will likely arrive late in the election campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason for this, according to Moleka, is because that would avoid the government going into “aggressive mode” to defeat the candidate — by fair means or foul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition candidates have in recent months decried what they term a narrowing of the ‘democratic space’ in the DRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition politician Cherubin Okenda, a member of Katumbi’s party, was assassinated in Kinshasa in July, for example, under circumstances that remain unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A leading Congolese journalist has also been imprisoned on charges of disseminating false information about the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of this, most opposition parties are convinced the elections will be fraudulent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Distrust –<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Moleka said the “electoral process is built on a high level of mistrust” which could lead to disputed results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The possibility of instability is “explosive,” he added, given the backdrop of insecurity in the DRC’s east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armed groups plague much of the mineral-rich east of the country, a legacy of regional wars that flared during the 1990s and 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One such group, the M23, has captured swathes of territory since launching an offensive in late 2021, and edged close to the eastern city of Goma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two former prime ministers who served under ex-Congolese president Joseph Kabila are also running: Augustin Matata and Adolphe Muzito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another candidate is Noel Tshiani, who ran unsuccessfully in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has championed a proposed law that would limit high political office in the DRC to citizens born to two Congolese parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Controversially, this would rule out Moise Katumbi, whose father was Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DRC’s electoral commission is due to publish the list of provisional presidential candidates on October 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
