According to Moka, however, the closure was in retaliation for the station's failure to cover an Impfondo rally in support of PCT Secretary-General Ambroise Noumazalaye in the midst of an intra-party dispute.
[12] Moka visited Impfondo in early 2006 as part of a health initiative; he distributed mosquito nets to students and planned to send a supply of condoms to help combat the spread of HIV.
[13] Unlike Moka, Bowao—who was Minister at the Presidency for Cooperation, Humanitarian Action, and Solidarity—was considered a representative of the party's reformist wing.
[11] Moka stood as an independent candidate for re-election to his parliamentary seat representing Impfondo constituency and was victorious,[14][15] receiving 75.76% of the vote[14] and defeating Bowao.
[19] In the July 2017 parliamentary election, he was re-elected to the National Assembly as the PCT candidate in Impfondo, winning the seat in the first round with 58% of the vote.
