Ten months after Félix Tshisekedi's inauguration and his alliance with Joseph Kabila, the opposition continues to struggle to find its place. In the National Assembly, it has obtained only one position, that of deputy rapporteur. Its election is scheduled for November 21, candidacies closed this Friday… and once again, the opposition is divided.

Members of the main opposition coalition Lamuka have failed to reach agreement. Result: the battle will be fought between Moïse Katumbi supporters and Jean-Pierre Bemba loyalists. 

On the side of the former governor of Katanga, there are two candidates. The first is Chérubin Okende, a deputy member of the AMK parliamentary group and allies. This former member of the communication cell of Joseph Kabila's presidential majority has since become spokesman for Moïse Katumbi.

Still in the latter's camp is deputy Mundia Pétillon, a close associate of Pierre Lumbi, the former security adviser to Joseph Kabila and very close to the Katangan businessman. He says he is the candidate of the political bureau of Ensemble pour le changement. Moïse Katumbi himself has not commented. 

The former vice-president, Jean Pierre Bemba, has only one candidate: deputy Jacques Lungwana, deputy secretary general in charge of logistics and finances of his MLC party.

But his parliamentary group is not limited to Jean Pierre Bemba's party. There is a second candidate, Albert-Fabrice Puela, member of the opposition dynamic dear to Martin Fayulu. Martin Fayulu, the former presidential candidate, for his part says he is not concerned by this debate, since he still does not recognize the election results.
