Opposition leaders in Congo are exploring the possibility of unifying behind a single candidate to challenge President Felix Tshisekedi in upcoming elections. Fayulu, a former runner-up, is involved in discussions with other candidates, including Mukwege, about a common candidate. Some candidates have already withdrawn to support Katumbi. Lawsuits have been filed against the electoral commission and government, citing legal breaches. Fayulu's priorities include ending violence, improving security forces, attracting foreign investment, and maintaining mining contracts.
