Martin Fayulu dreams of revenge against Félix Tshisekedi.
And despite the controversies surrounding the Ceni and the recently enacted electoral law, his party's congress dismissed the boycott.
He even asked the party to forge alliances with other political formations when the time comes.
Speaking, the opponent, white shirt, sleeves rolled up, promised to fight campaign to win the victory.
A victory which, he has never ceased to affirm, was stolen from him in 2018. "
I will be the fair and strong president that you expect
", he declared.
He promises that if elected, he will fight “
corruption like the plague
”.
Martin Fayulu wants to be an actor “
at the service of building a rule of law, ensuring the separation of powers
”.
Zero tolerance against corruption and impunity, strengthening security in the east of the country, the opponent has spread a taste of his program.
Martin Fayulu, however, does not have the support and the means he had in 2018. The Lamuka coalition which carried him has been diluted in the ruling camp.
His party will launch a fundraising campaign in the coming days to support his candidacy and that of his legislative candidates.
