A Belgian IT expert, part of the mission of electoral experts deployed by the European Union (EU) for the December polls in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), died in circumstances that have yet to be clarified. According to initial reports, he fell from the 12th floor of his hotel. The prosecution has opened an investigation to determine, according to diplomatic sources contacted by ACTUALITE.CD
The events occurred the night before yesterday, and the discovery was made early yesterday morning. The prosecutor was present with numerous services to conduct the investigation.
The deceased expert was part of the team supporting eight experts from various fields, including electoral, political, legal, human rights, gender, minorities, media and social networks.
Initially planned to observe the general elections of December 20, 2023, the EU electoral mission was reduced and transformed into a mission of electoral experts following discussions with the Congolese authorities. These experts will focus on analyzing the electoral process from the Congolese capital, Kinshasa.
The restricted mission, made up of eight experts, is responsible for carrying out a technical analysis of the electoral process as a whole. They will evaluate the process in accordance with international, regional and national commitments relating to the conduct of democratic elections to which the DRC has subscribed. A formal report including their findings, conclusions and possible recommendations will be submitted to the national authorities at the end of their mission.
