On January 19, 2015, he mobilized in Kinshasa students outside the Protestant University in the Congo and in Bandalungwa to protest against the draft electoral law which would require a population census before the presidential election to delay the date of the elections and lengthening the term of President Joseph Kabila.[5][6]
