Imiphumela yeVoti yase DR Congo ikhombisa ukuthi usekhona umholi

Imiphumela emenyezelwe yiCeni kuze kube manje ibalelwa ku-1.9 million amavoti, kubantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezingama-44 ababhalisele ukuvota ezweni elimaphakathi ne-Afrika elilingana nezwekazi lasentshonalanga ye-Europe futhi elinabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyikhulu. Ikhomishana yokhetho yaseDemocratic Republic of Congo ngoMsombuluko ikhiphe eminye imiphumela yokuqala yokhetho lukamongameli, nokuphakamisa ukuthi umholi okhona uFelix Tshisekedi uzohola kakhulu.

UCeni uthe uTshisekedi oneminyaka engu-60 ubudala, osephethe kusukela ngo-2019 futhi ufuna ihlandla lesibili leminyaka emihlanu, ubehamba phambili ngamavoti angaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-81. Okulandelayo kwaba yisikhulu samabhizinisi nowayengumbusi wesifundazwe saseKatanga uMoise Katumbi, 58, namavoti angaphezudlwana kuka-15% kanye nowayeyisikhulu sikawoyela uMartin Fayulu, 67, ngaphezudlwana nje kwephesenti elilodwa.

Abanye abaphikisi abacishe babe ngama-20, okuhlanganisa noDenis Mukwege oneminyaka engu-68 ubudala owathola indondo yeNobel Peace Prize, behlulekile ukuthola iphesenti elilodwa.

I-Ceni ayikazitholi izibalo zabavotile okhethweni lwangoDisemba 20 no-21 kodwa isaqhubeka nokukhipha imiphumela kusukela ngoLwesihlanu, okuhlanganisa nokhetho lwezomthetho, lwezifundazwe nolwasekhaya.

Ukuvota bekufanele kuvulwe ngoLwesithathu kuphela kodwa kwanwetshwa ngenxa yezinkinga eziningi zohlelo.

Abamele amaqembu aphikisayo bagxeke “isiphithiphithi” kanye “nokungahambi kahle” abathi kuphazamise ivoti.

Abanye bahlela ukutshengisela ngoLwesithathu oluzayo, kukanti abanye bathi ukhetho lwesulwe.

Umbhishobhi Omkhulu wamaKhatholika waseKinshasa, uKhadinali Fridolin Ambongo, ubize lolu khetho ngokuthi “isiphithiphithi esikhulu” ngesikhathi seMisa likaKhisimusi ngeSonto.

Njengamanxusa angaphezu kweshumi nambili ngaphambi kwakhe, ukhadinali ucele “ukuqapha nokuzibamba”, ezweni elimpofu kodwa elicebile ngamaminerali elinomlando omude wokubusa kobushiqela nokungqubuzana.

Ngaphandle kokusola kwabaphikisana nohlelo lokhetho, lo mkhankaso uke waphazanyiswa yizwe lasempumalanga elikhungethwe yizinxushunxushu, osekuqubuke ukushuba kwesimo kule minyaka emibili edlule njengoba sekuqubuke amavukelambuso e-M23, okusolakala ukuthi ayesekwe yiRwanda.
