Felix is on tender ground with the upcoming election , complete inaction despite alot of promises in almost 4 yrs is culpable, just cant imagine he is entirely stupid to just sit on his hands and prey for reelection without striking a major blow.
Better late than never, if he was to award the ML to AVZ before reelection, he will achieve 2 things for his people to resonate, that the battery hub vision is real and that the corrupt actors that stalled the battery vision for nearly 17 months , ripped off the DRC coffers in the process with the ROFR 15% , delayed future royalties thus future prosperity, wont get away with their bad deeds.

Battery hub vision + quell corruption as per mandate
Now that would be a major boon for his re election prospects, failure to do so, then he risks being a one term govt, much the same path way as Albanese is going down
simples.
imo
