DRC Opposition Demands Tshisekedi’s Resignation and Mass Protests Over Constitutional Changes

Leaders of the opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have called for President Felix Tshisekedi’s resignation and massive protests over proposed constitutional changes that would allow him to run for a third term.

Opposition Seeks to Challenge Proposed Constitutional Amendments

The opposition leaders made the appeal in a statement released on Thursday, warning that the amendments could undermine the country’s democratic institutions and lead to widespread instability.

According to sources close to the opposition, the proposed changes would grant Tshisekedi immunity from prosecution and allow him to maintain control over key government institutions even after leaving office.

Opposition Demands Mass Protests

The opposition leaders have demanded that mass protests be held across the country to express their opposition to the proposed constitutional amendments.

They argue that the changes would be a threat to democracy and the rule of law, and would undermine the country’s ability to hold leaders accountable for their actions.
