“Dictators are not in the business of allowing elections that could remove them from their thrones.”– Gene Sharp
Today, is the two years postponed General Election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Where major provinces are having mocking elections like in Beni, Butembo and Yumbi. In a nation where the Electoral Commission, CENI, isn’t able to bring the Electoral Equipment or the Polling Machines to the 70,000 Polling Stations. Where the machines are malfunctioning, where the Polling Agents haven’t the proper lists of voters for the Stations. This is selective chaos made by the Regime. To ensure that they can rig it in their favour.
We know that this isn’t a free and fair election. This is a farce created to ensure that the puppet, the succession and secure the wealth of Kabila to the next term. So, that his man can rise from his shadow, the man he used as a warlord in Kasai-Orientale. That is the man, who is coming up and becoming President. Emmanuel Shadari is not a loveable character, he is a reckless man and loyal to Kabila. There is no significant change from him. That is why Kabila have been so proud in International Interviews, because his will continues.
This is not a legitimate election, the machines isn’t working, the waiting time at the polling stations in Kinshasa is foolish. Just a few kilo-meters away from the CENI HQ should have all the equipment on time. This isn’t far away from the capital or in the villages of Katanga. No, this is close and clear venue. Still, CENI is showing how little they care of their maladministration and how they have pre-planned the results. Because, why having all these issues?
Why I am questioning all this nonsense. Is because the CENI has had over three years preparing for this election. If it was honest and securing, the election would have happen over the whole Republic. The material would have come to all the provinces and the areas during last week. Securing the ballots and the machines working. Testing and securing. They would have fixed and ensured extra, as the CENI Warehouse was burned down recently. Who knows how much equipment got lost in that fire. We just know, this was supposed to play out this way.
It doesn’t matter, who is the opposition candidates to Kabila’s man, the main ones are Martin Fayulu of Lamuka or Felix Tshisekedi of CACH. These men are running against Shadari, but it is like it doesn’t matter. Because, CENI and FCC have ensured their way.
I have little faith, as people are barred from voting, machines not working, polling stations not opened on time. Ballots not received, machines not registering the voters and claiming that people have already voted. This is what is reported by CENCO and LUCHA. Not two institutions or organizations who has interests of lying about the Elections. Because, they are organizations who works for the betterment of the Republic. So, I trust their reporting from today.
I expect to see that Shadari win with about 50-57% win on the Presidential Election. I would not write it like this, if it wasn’t for certain channels of information. General Election is made to ensure the men and woman, who are the ones that Kabila trust and needs to secure his wealth.
What is really striking is that even major parts of Kinshasa has had no voting or polling stations up. As the polls are going on. Where people are starting to demonstrate in anger, as the machines are not working there. Clearly, a message sent from CENI and FCC, that their ballots doesn’t matter.
Time will tell, but don’t be shocked if Shadari wins. That is scheduled programming. Peace.










There are an upcoming election in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This being the first one, where President Joseph Kabila isn¨t in. He has been ruling the for ages now and this coming election in the 30th December 2018 is supposed to be a peaceful transition. However, there there haven’t been that way.
There been issues along the way, postponement and clear violations of rules. As the ruling regime has taunted the opposition along the way. The burning of equipment and the lack of openness from the Electoral Body, the CENI. There are enough ruthless steps from this government to question it.
However, where we are today, when the European Union ambassador is sent home with 48 hours notice. The DRC, Vice Premier and Interior Minister is closing the borders. As the EU doesn’t want to comply with demands of taking away sanctions in the Kabila puppet, Emmanuel Shadari, who is his supposed successor.
While the CENI did yesterday prove disregard for dozens of regions and their rights to participate in the elections, as they are scheduled months after the inauguration planned for January 2019. That is just how erratic the CENI is and how they are serving the regime. They are making cause and ensuring it. So, they can hide the reality and their rigging.
The cards are all in the hands of Kabila. He is trying to fool everyone, trying to look cool and ready to step down. But he has awaited this day for so long, he has pushed it since his term ended years ago. Kabila doesn’t want this to happen. Then, it would have happen ages ago. Apparently, he is trying to play a fool. While looking cool and collected. That is why he is even taking rare-interviews and trying to sell the story of an election. Even, when all he players are in his game and he is issuing it to his benefit. That is why electoral equipment is late out in the provinces, there will be lacking ballots and whatnot. The army will be out punishing the ones not complying. The 30th December will be mess.
That is because, his ally and loyal comrade, Shadari is supposed to takeover. He will be the loyalist, awaiting a duopoly, where the former President will return and never leave the scene. Shadari is supposed to fix the issues. So Kabila can return and takeover again.
Shadari, I have no faith in, because of his actions in power. He has no problem and no conscience in ordering the army against civilians. Also sparking more internal conflict, as he wants the government and cronies to own the mineral rich in one province. That is the man, that the President has picked as his successor. Not an empty shell or an honourable man. Kabila is therefore, using his last days to try to prove a point against the ones sanctioning his allies. However, that is failing, as the Electoral Malpractice is shown at full capacity. No proof of a good and honest elections coming up.
Just like LUCHA has stated today, the CENI is creating chaos and doing so on purpose. It is like they want it that way. Also, so they can ensure themselves. This is only so Shadari can get the result he needs and what Kabila needs. But not the result the Congolese people deserves or should get. They deserve better. Kabile knows, but doesn’t doesn’t care and neither does Shadari or anyone else in the Cabinet. They are all playing along for the long-con, which has been going on for decades. That is the will of Kabila and they are playing the public for fools.
Kabila think he outsmart the world, pay enough PR Guru’s in United States and get away with it. Apparently, it isn’t working, as the mere realities of the deception is so in the open. The viciousness and ruthlessness, as he challenges the cores. As he takes things for granted and thinks he can escape the history, that he has made. That Kabila think he can be the cloud-master and return like nothing. When the skeletons and the deceased will talk against him. The ones he was taking away, while enriching himself in power. Peace.
