The main opposition platform struggles to speak with one voice on many public issues. Between the ambitions of different leaders and each one's positioning relative to the new government, in recent days two of its leaders have used their rallies to send messages to each other.

The divisions have taken on another dimension since the question of the opposition spokesman—a position enshrined in the Constitution—was raised. Jean-Pierre Bemba and Moïse Katumbi both see themselves occupying this position, according to their statements. This is not to the liking of Martin Fayulu and Adolphe Muzito.

Speaking in Paris on Friday before the Congolese diaspora, Fayulu even accused his colleagues of attempting to reduce his influence by accepting this position.

For his part, Katumbi, who is not aligned with Fayulu's strategy, asked the latter, without naming him directly, to also withdraw his deputies from the National Assembly if he does not consider himself an opponent.

The other point of disagreement is the position of deputy rapporteur of the National Assembly which is reserved for the opposition. Already weakened by two of their colleagues who have swelled the ranks of those in power, the four Lamuka leaders who remained are also divided into two camps.

The first is composed of Jean-Pierre Bemba and Moïse Katumbi. They say they align themselves with what they call a demanding and republican opposition, whereas Martin Fayulu and Adolphe Muzito do not recognize Félix Tshisekedi as president of the Republic and continue to fight for, as they say, the true will of the voters.

These divisions are being revealed at a time when Jean-Pierre Bemba is focusing on restructuring his party and Moïse Katumbi is also preparing to launch his own.
