Voices remain discordant within the Union of Humanist Democrats (UDH-Yuki), the political formation of opposition figure Guy-Brice Parfait Kolélas, who died a year ago. Since his death, party cadres have been tearing each other apart. As a result, the party has yet to organize its congress to choose new leaders.

With our correspondent in Brazzaville, Loïcia Martial
It is the current led by Gilles Fernand Bassindikila, second vice-president of UDH-Yuki, that organized this convention marked by several decisions. "Among the motions that were drafted at the convention, there is one that is eminently important: it elevates President Guy-Brice Parfait Kolélas to the rank of moral authority of our party," explains Mr. Bassindikila.
The convention also accused the first vice-president, Pascal Ngouanou, of misconduct for making the decision to invest candidates for the upcoming legislative and local elections. This is not within his purview, according to Gilles Fernand Bassindikila.
False, retorts the camp of the accused, which acknowledges divergences within the party, but refuses, through the voice of Diop Mahouckous, deputy communications director of UDH-Yuki, that unity be called into question within this formation. "You know that there can be currents at any given moment in the life of a political party. What matters most is that unity and cohesion are not compromised."
The two camps remain especially opposed on the timing of the party congress, before or after next summer's legislative elections. The activist base is calling on the two camps to smooth things over so that UDH-Yuki does not head into these elections with scattered ranks.
