Special envoy of the President of DRCongo to Angola delivers message from Tshisekedi to João Lourenço

The special envoy of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Luanda, Didier Mukanzu, who is the Minister of Regional Integration of DRCongo, was received, this Monday, in an audience by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, to whom he handed over a message from his Congolese counterpart, Félix Tshisekedi, the facilitator of Chad's transition process.

On the occasion, Didier Mukanzu said that the transition process in Chad was carried out successfully, highlighting "the orderly way" in which the election took place.

Chad held presidential elections in May this year, after the death, in 2021, of the President of that African country, Idriss Déby, who had been in power for 30 years.

"This is the first time that this has happened in Africa, this is surprising, because we had the elections in Chad in an orderly manner. The polls opened at 6:00 am and closed at 6:00 pm, people went to vote in an orderly and calm manner", said the envoy Tshisekedi special.

Didier Mukanzu also highlighted the fact that it was the first time that all electoral material was taken to all voting points, two weeks before the end of the campaign.

"This is indeed to be commended, because the Chadian people showed a certain maturity and it was for the first time, in an African country, that a sitting Prime Minister was a candidate, the acting President was also a candidate, but there was no spill of blood, there was no disturbance, there was no problem", he stressed.

Idriss Déby died in April 2021, aged 68, during a visit to soldiers in a military operation to combat rebels and at a time when he had been re-elected for a sixth term, with 79.32 percent of the vote in the presidential elections.

On May 6 of this year, presidential elections were held in Chad, in which Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, son of the deceased President, was the winner, but the result was initially contested by his rival in the elections, Succès Masra, who considered it manipulated, ending, however, for accepting the decision of the Constitutional Council.

Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, the transitional president and leader of the country's military junta, won the May 6 elections in the first round with 61.03 percent of the vote.
