Every democracy is strengthened when its leaders respect the Constitution—not only when it is convenient, but especially when it requires them to step aside.
For many Congolese, the constitutional two-term limit is more than a legal provision; it is a safeguard against the concentration of power and a guarantee of democratic alternation. As President Félix Tshilombo approaches the end of his constitutional mandate, the expectation is clear: the Constitution should be upheld, and the democratic process should continue through free and credible elections.
Whether one supports or opposes the current administration, respect for constitutional term limits remains a fundamental principle of democratic governance. Strong institutions—not individual leaders—are the foundation of a prosperous and stable nation.
