The DRC finally endowed with the Government of the democratic alternation

As one expected it, the Ilunga Government's deadline is reached on the morning of Monday, August 26, 2019. The President of the Republic, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, has appointed by Presidential Order the political figures members of the coalition government.

The new cabinet should be known by Tuesday. At the Head of State’ s demand, the special session of the Lower House of Parliament opened on Monday, August 19 to be closed on September 7, 2019.

It will be for the parliamentarians to audition the program of the Sylvestre Ilunga government and proceed to his investiture, then validate the mandate of some deputies dubbed by the Constitutional Court and the deputies of those who became senators. But for some deputies, this session especially sounded the death knell for the long wait of the new Government.
