DRC domestic governance and political stability

President Félix Tshisekedi has focused on internal institutional discipline and national security within the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Initially, the President issued directives to government ministers to ensure strict adherence to official duties and addressed governance disputes within public enterprises. During this period, Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka highlighted the implementation of a strategic partnership with the United States, specifically regarding technical assistance and the development of the Lobito Corridor.

Following these administrative directives, the political focus shifted toward national security and constitutional reform. Tshisekedi met with the Union Sacrée majority to discuss the political crisis involving Joseph Kabila and called for unity against external aggression. Regarding the legal framework, Tshisekedi expressed dissatisfaction with the current Constitution, stating, “This Constitution, I do not like it, and you know it,” while noting that any revisions would depend on the legislature. He indicated he would step down in 2028 if the majority refuses to amend the document. Additionally, preparations for a national dialogue are underway, with expected support from African Union facilitators and calls for women to contribute proposals on peace and social cohesion.
