The crisis between the Front Commun pour le Congo (FCC) led by Joseph Kabila and the Cap pour le Change (Cach) led by Félix Tshisekedi is intensifying. After three weeks of consultation, the president announced on Sunday, December 6, the upcoming appointment of a new informant to achieve a new majority in the congregation. Parliament will once again be the site of this trench war between the two platforms that until then formed the ruling coalition.

In his speech, Félix Tshisekedi explained that the informant would be responsible for identifying a new coalition that constituted an absolute majority in the National Assembly. The new coalition, if it can be formed, will make it possible to form a new government.
According to the constitution, the factual assignment is for thirty days and can only be renewed once. Specifically, it is possible that this unclear situation will last until February, but the relatives of Felix Tshisekedi report that the informant can be appointed already this week. The stakes are high: we must now completely abolish the majority that until then had been controlled by Joseph Kabila.
New choices possible
The battle will be fierce, but the head of state’s entourage wants to be optimistic. “With the current dynamics, it is possible to obtain the majority,” an adviser told Felix Tshisekedi.
On the side of Joseph Kabila, we do not lower our arms. After accusing Cach “Buying the deputies” to form this majority, the FCC reserves the right to take legal action. If he ultimately does not achieve this majority, the current head of state will not rule out using early elections. He reserves the right to use “the constitutional powers recognized for him”, to return to the people and ask for a majority, he explained.
