C64 rejects any change to the Constitution and warns against a third term

The Article 64 Coalition (C64) reiterated on October 27 its opposition to any amendment of the DRC Constitution, a third presidential term, and postponing the elections scheduled for 2028. In a statement following its conclave in Rome from October 25 to 27, it said the referendum law cannot override constitutional provisions, including Article 220 on the number and length of presidential terms. The coalition denounced what it called a planned “constitutional coup” and also condemned taking power by force and any attempt to divide the country.
