In the DRC, intense activities of the informant this weekend.

Senator Modeste Bahati, charged by President Tshisekedi with finding a new majority in the National Assembly, received several groups, almost all of them already acquired by the Sacred Union of the Nation initiated by the Head of State.

But the informer's schedule will have been somewhat disrupted, the MLC of Jean-Pierre Bemba and Ensemble de Moïse Katumbi still taking a long time to make a decision while discussions between these two groups and the presidency continue.

A small delegation

from the Ensemble de Moïse Katumbi

met the informant this weekend.

These elected officials have promised to return this Monday with their 37 national deputies.

An appointment which may however not be kept.

The pro-Katumbi, after the return to their base of the exchanges they had with Senator Modeste Bahati, decided yesterday to discuss it first with their colleagues from Jean-Pierre Bemba's MLC.

And this meeting is announced for this Monday.

Scheduled yesterday on the informant's agenda, the MLC delegates were not seen at the Congo River Hotel where

Modeste Bahati has installed his services

.

We can think that they are waiting for this discussion before deciding.

In any case, the pro-Katumbi and the pro-Bemba are worried about the rush

of FCC members

towards the Sacred Union of the Nation.

They fear that the action of the head of state will be scuttled.

To this, the ex-FCC Guy Mafuta, received on Saturday like many other defectors from the PPRD by the Informer, declared that joining the Sacred Union means supporting the Head of State, " 

the only Congolese who offered a program to the nation 

”.
