Guy-Patrice Lumumba, also known as Patrice Lumumba Guy, is the son of murdered Congolese Prime Minister and Pan-Africanist Patrice Émery Lumumba. His arrest in December 2005 was mentioned in the British House of Commons.[1] He ran independently for President of Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2006, but received only about 0.42% of the vote.[2] The World Socialist Website indicates he signed a complaint regarding the elections, claiming voter bribery and excess ballot sheets.[3]
In April 2021, Lumumba declared that he opposed the return of the relics of his father, a finger and two teeth collected by Gerard Soete, under the regime of Félix Tshisekedi.[4]
