During an online debate, he also challenged the legitimacy of the 2018 presidential election, Actualité.cd reports.

Tharcisse Loseke, a professor and co-founder of Sauvons la RDC, a platform led by former Congolese president Joseph Kabila, accused President Félix Tshisekedi of betraying his predecessor.

In a debate with Jean-Claude Tshilumbayi, the National Assembly’s first vice-president, Tharcisse Loseke argued that Joseph Kabila had « given power » to Félix Tshisekedi in 2019. He also claimed that the current head of state had not been elected, despite the validation of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Constitutional Court.
