Dear, His Excellency Felix Tshisekedi!
“Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.” – Lu Xun
I am writing you today as the Presidential Candidate of the coalition known as Common Front for Congo (CACH), which is the two party coalition Congolese Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) and Union for the Congolese Nation (UNC). The importance of that the political coordination with UNC Vital Kamerhe. We have seen that and seen how it has gone in the recent months. That is why I write to you, with haste, as it is needed at this point and time.
Honourable Sir, you have a choice, you can live on the lie, you can enjoy the perks, the position and the role as Head of State. You can do the hard one, accept it is wrong and challenge the results of the provincial announced results of Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante (CENI) on the 9th January 2019. As the first results of the Presidential Elections of the 30th December 2018, which have made you the winner of it.
I know it is a lot to ask, as there are two other monitoring bodies, local ones with local observers, that has challenged these results, which makes you a winner. This being Conférence Nationale Épiscopale du Congo (CENCO) and Synergie des Missions d’Observation Citoyenne des Elections (SYMOCEL). As they have other results and another candidate than you as their winner, by their collected samples of the election.
So, as we know this lie. You know this lie and you are living on the lie. Will you able to live with the lie, is the raving power and the opportunity to be the Big-Man so enticing? That you will live on it and breathe it? That you will be accepted being remembered for trading the ballots for power.
Now, we are seeing the real you, the man who made a deal with FCC, the People’s Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD) to ensure the FCC-UDPS-UNC will be a weak coalition. It will be manoeuvred and controlled, the Tshisekedi Presidency will be a Toy Story of the FCC-PPRD. A puppet of the patronage of the Joseph Kabila as accepted in the deals behind close doors.
Is this what you will be remembered for Tshisekedi. Not winning and a peaceful transition. You will be remembered for being part of a heist. You will be remembered for stealing an election as part of a deal made between closed doors. Is that what your legacy is worth? Is that what power is worth for you?
Because, the republic should be more valuable, the 3rd Republic should be the one want to preserve and ensure as a man who runs for Presidency. Not just seeking power for power sake. That is what it seems.
Hope you can manage to live with lie, as the lie will be with you and your to carry. Because you accepted it and took it. You can endure it, but that will not change it. The truth is still there and will be known. You will never have the legitimacy or the trust of the whole public. As you were never intended to be this.
You were the supposed lucky loser, the second place, but it was better to swallow the lie. It was better to take the hot-seat and be the Big-Man.
Hope it is worth it though. May your soul live it.
Best Regards
