Kinshasa, November 10th, 2026 (CPA).- The Alliance of Muslim Patriots and Democrats (APDM) stated on Tuesday that the medical evidence submitted in the case involving its president in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) contradicted the allegations of violence leveled against him, following the hearing held on November 9th before the Court of Cassation, according to a press release. “None of the medical evidence mentioned in the case establishes that our late sister died as a result of blows and injuries,” reads the clarification statement issued by the National Political Bureau. According to the document, the APDM indicated that the investigation had taken into account several medical documents from, among others, HJ Hospital, CHIP Hospital and Gombe Clinic, as well as a medical certificate issued as part of the judicial proceedings. The political party also referred to video recordings and photographs which, it said, showed his late wife, Elysé Mondo, undergoing repeated blood transfusions shortly before her death. The medical evidence identified acute leukaemia as the cause of death, the APDM maintained, adding that the initial allegations of violence had been seriously contradicted by the documents submitted to the court.
Furthermore, the National Political Bureau called on public opinion to avoid speculation and political conflation surrounding the proceedings, while asserting that the expected ruling would be based on an examination of the evidence and compliance with the rule of law. The case involving Imam Moussa Mondo, former Deputy Minister in charge of Hydrocarbons under the government of Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba, dates back to April 2024, following the death of his wife, Khadidja Alissa, a Malagasy national, at a healthcare facility in Kinshasa. The former government official had been suspected of domestic violence resulting in his wife’s death, allegations he categorically denied, maintaining that she had been suffering from an illness.
