Mbandaka: C64 coalition march blocked by police, arrests reported

The C64 coalition was unable to hold its march in Mbandaka on September 15, 2026, as police suppressed the demonstration on the orders of local authorities. Christophe Itofo, the provincial coordinator of the coalition, reported that about ten protesters were arrested. The city hall had not granted permission for the march, which aimed to oppose a proposed constitutional change for a potential third term for Félix Tshisekedi.
