Congo opposition condemns new bill seen as opening the way for a third term for President Tshisekedi

The Congo's opposition has strongly criticized a new legislative proposal that they believe could enable President Félix Tshisekedi to extend his rule beyond his current term, labeling it a power grab. This move has sparked significant unrest as it threatens to undermine the democratic progress made in recent years. The opposition's condemnation underscores broader concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and the potential for increased political instability in the region. The bill's passage could have far-reaching implications for both domestic politics and international perceptions of Congo's commitment to democratic governance.
