It was very important that president and elected parliamentarians are being renewed their mandate or not the elections. which would install a traditional election. The transfer of political power would cease to be by force and by heredity. Unfortunately, the elections that happened in the Congo are vitiated by irregularities: attempts of cheating, fraud, use of violence … This may lead to civil war with all its consequences on the population. May God protect the Congo!
