The largest coalition of opposition to a new coordinator. After three months at the head of Lamuka, Jean-Pierre Bemba passes the baton of command to Adolphe Muzito, still for a period of three months.
The former prime minister will have the task of preserving the unity of Lamuka which is composed of only four opposition leaders after the departure of Mbusa Nyamwisi, who has joined the ruling camp, and Freddy Matungulu , proposed by Felix Tshisekedi as administrator at the AfDB, the African Development Bank.
The new coordinator will soon convene a meeting of the Lamuka presidium during which he will raise the big options on the issues of the hour, but Adolphe Muzito already sets the tone: he insists on the search for what he calls " truth " urns ", and tackle the ruling majority.
" The country is divided. This is the cacophony at the highest peak of the state. There is no cohesion, no agreement. It's rivalry. We believe that everyone needs to understand that the country needs cohesion. "
Stressing Lamuka's unity, Adolphe Muzito relativizes the coalition's inability to agree on the name of a single candidate for the post of deputy speaker of the National Assembly , the only post reserved for the opposition. the office of the lower house of Parliament. " We can have contradictions, that's the richness. We are resisters in this institution. "
For his part, without mentioning the results of his three-month term as head of this coalition, Jean-Pierre Bemba promised his support to his successor. " We are together. We will continue to support him, provide him with all our energy. We are confident. "
The next challenge for Lamuka will be to agree on the position to take on the issue of the opposition spokesperson, which remains unresolved.
