DRC political leaders Felix Tshisekedi and Vital Kamerhe during 2018 presidential elections campaign

"I would like to thank those who voted for me. I also thank  those who did not vote for me. Today, Congo has won. It's not the victory of one side against another. I have engaged in this campaign to reconcile the Congolese with themselves, I commit myself to that. Tomorrow, the Congo we are going to build  will not be a Congo marked by division, hatred and tribalism. It will be a reconciled Congo, a strong Congo, focused on  its development in peace and security for all."

It is in these terms that Felix-Antoine Tshisekedi, the newly elected president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) acknoweldged his victory in the recent controversial elections.
