The recent meeting between President Félix Tshisekedi and the President of the National Assembly Vital Kamerhe at the Cité de l’Union Africaine sparked strong reactions within the Congolese political scene. Indeed, this meeting is of capital importance in the context of the evolution of the political landscape in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Vital Kamerhe’s statement, expressing the availability of the National Assembly for the inauguration of the Suminwa government, highlights the importance of collaboration between the country’s political institutions. This declaration thus announces the imminent arrival of a new government team, the result of the majority coalition in the National Assembly.
The Suminwa government, composed of 54 members, represents a major turning point in current governance. With 30 new figures and 15 reappointed ministers, this government seems to want to breathe a wind of renewal long awaited by the Congolese population. The diversity of profiles within this team bodes well for a strong government capable of responding to the country’s economic, social and political challenges.
The inauguration of the Suminwa government scheduled between June 10 and 11 will be a crucial moment in the recent history of the DRC. The presentation of the action program of this new government to the National Assembly will be an opportunity for national deputies to judge the political orientations and priorities of the government in place.
This meeting between Félix Tshisekedi and Vital Kamerhe is therefore of strategic importance in the process of establishing the new government. It demonstrates the desire of the Congolese political authorities to work together for the well-being and development of the country. The Congolese population is impatiently awaiting the next steps in this process, in the hope of a better future for the DRC.
