It is reported that the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has concluded on the decision to forge ahead with the talks to amend the country's 2006 constitution... President Félix Tshisekedi has been actively pursuing constitutional change, a move that has sparked significant political tension in the DRC. Tshisekedi was re-elected for a second term with over 70% of the vote in the December 2023 general election. Opposition parties criticized the election as fraudulent, and they view the proposed constitutional changes as a "smokescreen" to remain in power beyond 2028. A document on the social media platforms, reports that President Tshisekedi's political party the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), has voted to pursue constitutional changes in the DRC. What does this mean for the Congolese? Peter Ndoro spoke to Francine Muyumba, Congolese activist and Senator in the Senate of Congo
