Lisanga Bonganga calls for constitutional reform in Congo

Lisanga Bonganga, a former minister and political figure in the Republic of the Congo, has advocated for a change to the nation's Constitution. He argues that the current fundamental law lacks essential democratic protections.

Bonganga specifically highlights the absence of an explicit principle prohibiting the use of weapons to seize power. He contends that integrating a mandate for exclusively peaceful and institutional access to power is necessary to strengthen democratic culture and ensure long-term political stability. He describes the constitutional change as “inevitable, unavoidable, and inescapable” to address these perceived legal gaps.
