The newly established PCT/Nkeni-Alima Federation has officially commenced operations with its inaugural session, marking a significant milestone in the political landscape of the Republic of Congo. Chaired by Federal President Yves Fortuné Moundélé-Ngollo Ehourossia, this gathering represented the first major meeting since the elective general assembly two months prior, serving as a critical platform to establish the federation’s strategic direction and operational framework.
The session’s significance extends beyond routine administrative matters, occurring against the backdrop of Congo’s evolving political environment and the approaching 2026 presidential election. President Moundélé-Ngollo Ehourossia immediately established the strategic importance of the Nkeni-Alima department in his opening remarks, emphasizing: “Nkeni-Alima is a very strategic department that means a lot to our comrade president and to the Secretary-General of the PCT. I know I can count on all of you to commit yourselves completely, fully, so that in the Nkeni-Alima department, it is felt that the PCT is animated, that it is standing tall”. This statement underscores the department’s perceived importance within the broader political strategy of the Congolese Party of Labour (PCT).
In a politically significant development, the federal council members unanimously passed a motion of support urging President Denis Sassou N’Guesso to declare his candidacy for the March 2026 presidential election. The motion articulated: “We pay deserved tribute to Comrade Denis Sassou N’Guesso for his visionary leadership; his exceptional achievements that are sustainably transforming our country in the field of infrastructure; the significant improvement in the living conditions of the populations; by associating our wishes with the legitimate aspirations of our fellow citizens for the continued implementation of his societal project, let us continue the march towards development together”. This early endorsement signals the federation’s alignment with the current leadership and establishes its position within the broader political landscape ahead of the electoral cycle.
President Moundélé-Ngollo Ehourossia clarified the session’s operational objectives, explaining: “It was about validating our various tasks, that is to say, the actions we must implement by the end of the year, namely the holding of our statutory meetings, the general assembly and the federal congress, the completion of the committees that were dismantled due to the birth of this new federation, as well as participation in the 6th Congress of the Congolese Party of Labour”. This comprehensive agenda highlights the federation’s focus on both internal organizational development and active participation in broader party structures.
The federation’s political ambitions were further emphasized with a bold declaration regarding the upcoming presidential election. President Moundélé-Ngollo Ehourossia confidently asserted: “The Nkeni-Alima Federation, you will hear about it. Everything went well, we remain mobilized with one goal, of course: the upcoming presidential election. We have just asked the President of the Republic to courageously submit his candidacy because here we are all lined up behind him and we are prepared and willing to mobilize to support him very highly when he makes this candidacy announcement that we strongly wish for the next presidential election. We guarantee him that here in Nkeni-Alima, he will be elected in the first round with an exceptional score”. This statement positions the federation as a potentially influential political force while demonstrating the party’s confidence in its electoral capabilities.
To ensure operational effectiveness, President Moundélé-Ngollo Ehourossia provided substantial logistical support in the form of computer equipment and teaching materials. This strategic investment aims to enhance the federation’s administrative capacity and responsiveness, reflecting a practical approach to political organization that recognizes the importance of adequate resources in achieving political objectives. The provision of these materials represents a tangible commitment to building a robust political infrastructure capable of executing the federation’s ambitious agenda.
The inaugural session of the PCT/Nkeni-Alima Federation establishes a clear trajectory for the political entity, combining organizational development with explicit political positioning. The early endorsement of President Sassou N’Guesso, coupled with confident electoral predictions and substantial resource allocation, suggests the federation aims to play a significant role in both party politics and the broader national political landscape as Congo approaches its next presidential election cycle.
