On July 30, 2026, opposition figures in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) publicly denounced what they described as a threat to the constitutional order. The accusations center on President FΓ©lix Tshisekedi's recent actions, which critics argue could undermine democratic processes ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.
According to verified reports, the opposition coalition has raised concerns over proposed changes to the electoral commission and alleged delays in local elections. These moves, they claim, are part of a broader strategy to consolidate power and weaken institutional checks.
President Tshisekedi's administration has denied the allegations, stating that all actions are within legal frameworks and aimed at ensuring stability. However, international observers have urged transparency and adherence to constitutional timelines.
The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for potential legal battles. The African Union has called for dialogue to prevent escalation.
