Congo Opposition Condemns Bill That Could Pave Way for President Tshisekedi’s Third Term

Opposition parties in the Democratic Republic of Congo voiced strong criticism of a newly introduced bill. They argue the legislation could alter the constitution to permit President Félix Tshisekedi to run for a third term. The bill was presented by the ruling coalition in parliament earlier this week. Critics say the move undermines democratic norms and the spirit of term limits. Tshisekedi’s administration has not yet responded to the opposition’s accusations. The controversy has sparked protests in Kinshasa and other major cities. International observers are monitoring the debate for potential impact on regional stability. The opposition urges legislators to reject the bill before it proceeds to a vote.
