DR Congo’s Kabila ‘partner in democratic change’: Tshisekedi
KINSHASA, Jan 10, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – The winner of the Democratic Republic of
Congo’s historic presidential poll on Thursday hailed long-term leader Joseph
Kabila as a “partner in democratic change”.
Opposition candidate Felix Tshisekedi was provisionally declared elected
president by the country’s electoral commission in the early hours of
Thursday morning.
“I pay tribute to President Joseph Kabila and today we should no longer
see him as an adversary, but rather, a partner in democratic change in our
country,” he told a crowd of supporters at the headquarters of his UDPS
party.
