Moïse Katumbi

Moïse Katumbi, a prominent political figure in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is a key opposition leader to President Félix Tshisekedi. He is currently newsworthy due to his vocal opposition to potential constitutional reforms that could pave the way for Tshisekedi to seek a third term in office. Katumbi has recently emerged from relative silence to publicly denounce this proposed revision, echoing concerns shared by other opposition voices. This comes amidst controversy surrounding the use of the slogan “Tout droit jusqu’à 3” (Straight to 3) by the ruling party, which is interpreted as advocating for a third term for the current president. Katumbi's stance is significant because he represents a major challenge to the ruling party's agenda and highlights the ongoing political tensions surrounding the possibility of extending presidential term limits in the DRC.
