This is a little bit of Felix' background.
Do you really believe that Felix will wait till late 2023 before he starts campaigning?
The guy has been spoon fed politics from the moment he was born and is fighting to stay in power.
And look which name pops up in this story, amazing....
Vidiye Tshimanga, The guy, who now is fighting, after being exposed in London with his hands in the till, to clear his name.
Will Felix throw him under the bus, or does he need him to become re-elected? The same as the $50 million dollar man?
DR Congo: Who is Étienne Tshisekedi, the Man Tasked With Toppling Kabila?
BY CONOR GAFFEY ON 6/14/16 AT 11:03 AM EDTAn ex-prime minister and former ally of notorious dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, veteran politician Étienne Tshisekedi, is preparing once more to pick up the opposition baton in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The 83-year-old leader of the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), Tshisekedi appears again to have been nominated as the de facto opposition leader ahead of elections scheduled for November, but which could be jeopardized by delays and by the incumbent Joseph Kabila's attempts to cling to power.
Tshisekedi has emerged as Kabila's main opponent following a meeting of Congolese opposition parties in the Belgian capital Brussels earlier in June. The meeting included the G7 coalition, which recently pronounced businessman Moise Katumbi, the former governor of DRC's mineral-rich Katanga province, as its candidate for the presidency. Following Katumbi's announcement in May that he was running for the presidency, it seemed that he would pose the biggest threat to Kabila. But Vidiye Tshimanga, vice president of one of the opposition groups involved in the Brussels nominations, said that the veteran Tshisekedi would lead the new coalition named Rassemblement, or "Rally," Voice of America reported.
Hailing from what is now Kananga in central DRC, Tshisekedi served as a minister in the government of Mobutu, who is believed to have looted billions of dollars from DRC's state coffers and brutally crushed opposition. Tshisekedi later went into opposition after Mobutu canceled elections, founding the UDPS in 1982. When Mobutu was forced to open up his government in the early 1990s, Tshisekedi twice served as the dictator's prime minister. But these terms were both cut short due to disputes with Mobutu.
Tshisekedi continued his opposition after Laurent-Désiré Kabila—the father of current president Kabila—ousted Mobutu in a coup in 1997. His name was on a list drawn up by a constitutional committee in 1998 of 250 people who would not be allowed to run for president. Following the assassination of Laurent Kabila in 2001, his son Joseph ruled for five years without opposition and during a deadly conflict in DRC until an election was eventually held in 2006, under the auspices of the United Nations. Tshisekedi and his party boycotted the election, claiming it was rigged in advance, and Kabila was duly elected.
Come 2011, Tshisekedi was back with a bang. Ahead of the vote on November 28 that year, Tshisekedi pre-emptively declared himself the president of DRC, saying that the majority of the population had turned against Kabila. After the country's electoral commission announced that Kabila had won the election—in a decision questioned by international observers—Tshisekedi rejected the result and declared he would inaugurate himself as president anyway. His planned ceremony at a stadium in the capital Kinshasa was shut down by security forces and the opposition leader was placed under house arrest.
Tshisekedi recently appeared in a New Year's video message, looking frail and stumbling over his words. The politician had been taken to Brussels in August 2014 for medical treatment, but he remained defiant in his message, saying: "I will soon be among you so we can unite our efforts to win." While Kabila has still not declared whether he will seek to amend the constitution so that he can seek a third term, and no date has been set for the 2016 election, Tshisekedi appears to be up for another political fight if it does go ahead.
