On April 19, 2024, a significant moment in the political landscape of the Democratic Republic of Congo unfolded as Prime Minister Judith Suminwa concluded consultations with various political parties. Among them was a delegation from the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS/Tshisekedi), led by President Felix-Antoine Tshisekedi. During this meeting, Amisi Makutano, the spokesperson for UDPS, emphasized the Prime Minister’s dedication to realizing the six fundamental areas outlined by the President in his inaugural address.
In a tone of accountability and hope, Makutano affirmed the UDPS’s readiness to provide competent individuals who would assist the upcoming government in accomplishing the goals set forth by President Tshisekedi. He highlighted the necessity of having resolute government officials who are cognizant of their responsibilities in meeting the expectations of the Congolese populace.
Addressing inquiries regarding the delayed formation of the government, Makutano urged for patience and tranquility, assuring that the government formation process was underway and the appointed members would be disclosed shortly. He reiterated the Prime Minister’s commitment to translating the six facets of the presidential agenda into tangible actions rather than mere political rhetoric.
The conclusion of political consultations on April 19 marked a pivotal stage in the government’s establishment process. Scheduled for April 20, 2024, the Prime Minister is set to engage with civil society groups, particularly women’s organizations, to continue consultations and ensure an equitable representation within the government.
