Join the Front
Un front se construit cellule par cellule
Membership of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation is a free and individual act. It is recorded at every level and opens the way to taking part in the life of the movement, to standing for office and to political training.
Key points
Membership of the Front is open to any person meeting four conditions: Congolese nationality, eighteen years of age, good moral standing, adherence to the ideals of the Front and no incompatible membership. It is individual, free, without discrimination, and recorded at every level: the issuing of the membership card concludes the process.
Conditions
Who may join
- Be a Congolese national aged at least eighteen.
- Be of good moral character.
- Share the ideals set out in the Front's statutes.
- Not be affiliated with any other political formation incompatible with the Front's line.
Principle
No discrimination
L'adhésion est ouverte à tout Congolais remplissant les conditions ci-dessus, sans aucune forme de discrimination de race, d'ethnie, de tribu, de sexe ou de religion. Elle est individuelle, libre et enregistrée à tous les échelons : l'octroi de la carte de membre sanctionne le processus d'adhésion.
Rights and duties
Les membres sont égaux en droits et devoirs. Ils peuvent accéder à tous les mandats et fonctions du Front, participer à la gestion du mouvement, interpeller leurs dirigeants et leurs mandataires, et être électeurs comme éligibles aux différents postes de ses organes.

Sections and cells
Two tiers to root the Front
The Section operates at the level of territories, rural groupings and towns. The Cell operates at the level of neighbourhoods and villages. Each level has a council that deliberates and a committee that executes.
Tier 01
The Section
Comité sectionnaire : un président, un secrétaire, un trésorier, une coordinatrice chargée des femmes, un coordinateur chargé des jeunes et trois conseillers. Le conseil sectionnaire se réunit en session ordinaire une fois par trimestre, ou à la demande d'un tiers de ses membres.
Tier 02
The Cell
Cell committee: a chair, a secretary, a coordinator for women, a coordinator for young people and two councillors. Cell committees meet once a week, summoned by their chair.
Guaranteeing half of the movement
A specialised body responsible for the political training and mentoring of women. Equal opportunity is a principle of the Front: women are represented at every level, from the cell to the executive committee.
Diaspora
Outside the country
Congolese abroad, stakeholders in the refoundation
Les fédérations du Front sont constituées sur le territoire national et hors du territoire national par les Congolais vivant à l'étranger et leurs descendants. Le retour digne des réfugiés et des exilés politiques est une exigence du programme : la diaspora en est un levier.
Federations outside the country
One federation per country or group of countries where the Congolese community is established, with the same bodies and the same discipline as at national level.
Consultation framework
A permanent framework for consultation between the diaspora, the provinces and the leadership, so that the experience and the expertise of the diaspora are reflected in decision-making.
Return and resettlement
Support for political exiles and refugees who choose to return, in safety and dignity, in accordance with the commitments of the programme.
