Tharcisse Loseke, a founder of Sauvons la RDC, a platform led by Joseph Kabila, has criticized Felix Tshisekedi's leadership in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In a recent interview, Loseke stated that Tshisekedi has failed to govern the country according to republican norms. He claimed that Tshisekedi was given the power on a silver platter by Joseph Kabila in 2019, but has not used it wisely. Loseke's comments were made during a live broadcast on Space, where he was responding to questions from Jean-Claude Tshilumbayi, the first vice-president of the National Assembly.
Loseke's criticism of Tshisekedi's leadership is centered on the country's current state of affairs. He claims that Tshisekedi has surrounded himself with a group of "享受ers and mafiosi" who have led the country into its current situation. According to Loseke, Tshisekedi's actions are driven by a desire to cling to power for an extended period. He described Joseph Kabila as a peaceful man who transferred power in a peaceful manner, but expressed disappointment that Tshisekedi has not reciprocated with gratitude.
Loseke also criticized Tshisekedi's first term in office, saying that he has achieved nothing for the country. He accused Tshisekedi of managing the economy based on clientelism and nepotism, and claimed that the state budget has never been executed according to norms.

He claimed that the country now has more exiles than it did under Joseph Kabila's rule. Loseke's comments were quickly responded to by Jean-Claude Tshilumbayi, who rejected the accusations.
