The election of the final bureau of the Senate in the Democratic Republic of Congo in August 2024 is a crucial moment in the country’s political life, marked by complex issues and palpable tensions within the political class. After months of waiting and negotiations, the Senate is finally preparing to constitute its final bureau, a process that promises to be eventful and highly strategic.
With a constantly evolving list of candidates and shifting alliances, this election is of capital importance for the balance of power within the upper house of parliament. The various political parties and groupings are trying to place their representatives in key positions, with the aim of defending their interests and influencing future decisions.

Alliances are formed and broken according to political interests and calculations, creating an electric and uncertain atmosphere on the eve of the election.
On the one hand, the ticket of the Sacred Union of the Nation is trying to gather its forces and consolidate its position by presenting candidates united under the same banner.
