Kinshasa: Kamerhe, Kanku Shiku, Paluku and Busa launch the PCR political platform
The political groupings Allied Actions and UNC, Alliance of Actors Attached to the People (AAAP), Alliance Bloc 50 (A/B50), and the Coalition of Democrats (CODE) respectively of Vital Kamerhe, Tony Kanku Shiku high representative of the moral authority of the sacred union, Julien Paluku and Jean Lucien Busa announced, Tuesday, January 23 in Kinshasa, the creation of a new political platform. This political alliance is called the Pact for a Recovered Congo (PCR).
After the agreement was signed on Monday, January 22, this new political movement, member of the Sacred Union for the Nation, was presented this Tuesday to the media and supporters of various constituent parties.
According to its leaders, this new political force aims in particular to provide support and reinforcement, through the respective elected representatives of each political group, of the parliamentary majority during the legislature which is starting.
The PCR also aims to support the Government that will result from it.
“Since we are more than 450 national deputies and more than 700 provincial deputies, are we going to evolve without creating cohesion within the sacred union of the nation? We say no. What we have just done is a start, it is to strengthen cohesion within the Sacred Union, to bring back discipline so that we all know that from now on we no longer have the right to error,” said Vital Kamerhe, president of the UNC.
“The President of the Republic having received legitimacy at the end of the elections through the ballot boxes, he now has, as we saw on the day of the swearing-in, popular legitimacy. We must therefore ensure that we spare no effort so that the president’s ideas are transformed into action to thus meet the needs of our population,” he added.
Vital Kamerhe argues that their new political platform has nothing to do with power sharing.
“We didn’t talk about power sharing. May the minds that are troubled at this moment calm down, it’s cohesion, it’s the passion for the Congo, it’s the obsession to support the President of the Republic for success in the bet he took with the Congolese people,” he supported.
The groups brought together within the Pact for a Congo Found also declare that they accept the membership of other groups and political parties with elected officials in deliberative assemblies at the national and provincial levels.
