In a scathing critique of President Félix Tshisekedi’s tenure, Congolese politician Delly Sesanga has condemned the ruling party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), for what he describes as a governance failure that has led to the decline of democracy, justice, and state institutions in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
According to Sesanga, the UDPS and its system were “built on a void,” lacking the necessary foundations to govern effectively. He argues that instead of progressing, the country has regressed under Tshisekedi’s leadership. “Democracy has collapsed,” he lamented, pointing to increasing concerns about the erosion of political freedoms and institutional integrity.
Sesanga also decried the state of the justice system, stating that it is currently in its worst condition in the country’s history. “There is no more state, and there is no more law,” he asserted, accusing the government of failing to uphold the rule of law and maintain order.
This criticism adds to growing concerns among opposition leaders and civil society groups about the direction of the country under Tshisekedi’s administration. With political tensions rising, Sesanga’s remarks underscore the broader debate on governance, democracy, and institutional stability in the DRC.
Tshisekedi, who took office in 2019, has faced increasing scrutiny over his administration’s handling of key national issues, including security, governance, and economic development. As the political landscape continues to evolve, his leadership remains a subject of intense debate among Congolese citizens and political observers alike.
