PRESIDENT Mnangagwa has congratulated his Democratic Republic of Congo counterpart
Félix Antonie Tshisekedi Tshilombo for a landslide victory in last month’s elections.
President Tshisekedi won the election with 73 percent of the vote while his nearest challenger, Moise Katumbi, got 18 percent.
Posting on his official X account, President Mnangagwa also saluted the people of DRC for conducting the election in a peaceful manner under challenging conditions.
“On behalf of the Government, the People of Zimbabwe and on my behalf, I warmly congratulate His Excellency Félix Antonie Tshisekedi Tshilombo on his landslide re-election as the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the same spirit, I thank the people of the DR Congo for exercising their vote even then under challenging conditions, urging them to keep the peace for the stability and development of their country. Zimbabwe remains a true and consistent friend of the Congo, itself a valued member of the Sadc family,” wrote President Mnangagwa.
