After a first contact with the informant a few days ago, the pro-Katumbi and

the pro-Bemba returned to Senator Modeste Bahati Lukwebo

to formalize their membership in the Sacred Union of the Nation.

The deputy Dieudonné Bolengetenge speaks on behalf of the 37 national elected representatives of the Ensemble party: “ 

We are involved in the process of constituting this majority within the framework of the Sacred Union of the Nation.

We therefore came to discuss with the informant to confirm our support for the process of constituting this new majority.

 "

For Mohamed Bole, head of the MLC and Allies delegation, the Sacred Union of the Nation should make it possible to fight for the well-being of the Congolese populations: “ 

These 22 national deputies and these groups of MLC parliamentarians and allies will join the Union sacred.

What are we looking for?

Security, peace for the Congolese people?

What are we looking for?

Reforms, but so that there are peaceful elections.

 "

The formalization of the membership

of Together for Change and the MLC

to the Sacred Union was eagerly awaited.

The leaders of these two groups, Moïse Katumbi and Jean-Pierre Bemba, were the first to support President Félix Tshisekedi's initiative after the breakdown of the FCC-Cach coalition.
