The Social and Political Forces of the Nation is the name given to this platform.
"
It brings together movements, associations, political parties and political groupings, without discrimination,
" says Maître Jean-Bosco Lalo Kpasha.
According to the president of the national office of the Social and Political Forces of the Nation, his objective is the depoliticization of the Independent National Electoral Commission (Ceni).
Peaceful march on November 6
Indeed, the presence of
Denis Kadima
at the head of the new team of the commission continues to arouse various reactions within the public.
In addition to dividing religious denominations, this presence also opposes political parties including
those of the Sacred Union
, some believing that the new president of the Ceni is very close to the President of the Republic.
There is in particular Moïse Katumbi
who continues his consultations
in the capital.
The leader of the party Together for the Republic, spoke against the endorsement of Denis Kadima as president of the Ceni.
He is trying to find a concerted position within his party on the electoral process.
The new platform is based on two structures: the laity of
the Catholic Church
and those of
the Protestant Church
, the two religious denominations which are very reluctant to appoint Denis Kadima.
A first mobilization is scheduled for Saturday, November 6.
The platform calls for a peaceful march across the country.
