Gusa abasesenguzi bemeza ko ari umuvuno Perezida Felix Tshisekedi yaciye wo kumufasha gukomeza kuyobora igihugu. Ubu Tshisekedi ari kuyobora manda ya kabiri, kandi ari na yo ya nyuma yemererwa n’itegeko nshinga ry’igihugu.

Tshisekedi yavuze ko afite intego yo guhindura RDC igihugu giteye imbere kandi gishobora guhatana ku rwego rwa Afurika mu nzego zitandukanye bitarenze mu mwaka wa 2034. Ibyo byumvikanisha ko icyo gihe azaba akiri ku butegetsi. Ati, “Intego yanjye ni ugushyira RDC ku ruhembe mu 2034, ikaba igihugu kiri ku murongo mwiza, giteye imbere kandi gishobora guhatana ku rwego rw’umugabane. Dufite gahunda yo kubyaza umwanya turimo ku Isi inyungu ikomeye.”

Abo mu ishyaka UDPS bagaragaza ko nta cyababuza kuvugurura Itegeko Nshinga kuko ngo n’ababanjirije Tshisekedi babikoze. Basobanura ko Tshisekedi atagiye ku butegetsi kugira ngo arangize manda ebyiri ahubwo ko yahawe ubutumwa agomba gusohoza bwo gukemura ibibazo RDC ifite. Bityo ko niburangira, azava kuri uyu mwanya. Abatavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi bamusabye kutarenza mu 2028.
