Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on August 26, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the one and only Andre-Philippe Futa! From navigating political waters smoother than a Congolese rumba dancer, you've shown us all how leadership is done. Ever since you took charge of the National Alliance Party for Unity in 2006, your speeches have been sharper than Kinshasa fashion—and that's saying something!

Here's wishing you another year filled with success as impressive as your ability to unite people from every corner of DR Congo. May your birthday cake be sweeter than election victories, and may laughter follow you like loyal voters at campaign rallies. Cheers to many more legendary moments ahead!
