A turnaround has occurred within the Congolese Football Federation as the important electoral deadline approaches. In an official letter dated September 18, 2026, Cynthia Ligina Grace Nzila Ngoma informed the electoral commission of her decision to withdraw from the list led by candidate Karl Malalou, who is running for the presidency of the federal body.
In her communication to the members of the commission overseeing the General Assembly, the candidate cited simple "personal reasons" to justify her withdrawal, without providing further details on the actual motives. She formally requested that her name be removed from the list so that her wishes are fully recognized on a legal and administrative level.
This significant withdrawal comes just one week before the crucial vote, scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026. As the various competing teams intensify their campaigns and finalize their strategies, this unexpected withdrawal forces Karl Malalou's team to reassess their positions ahead of the vote.
