Violence in DRC after president’s party crushing senate defeat

DR Congo's president, Felix Tshisekedi announced important measures on March 14, 2019 to pardon political prisoners arrested under the previous presidency.

Tshisekedi was sworn in on January 24 after a bitterly disputed election mired by fraud allegations, replacing Kabila who yielded power after 18 turbulent years at the helm of sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest country. The size of the majority means the FCC will be able to make changes to the country’s constitution or pursue legal proceedings against the current head of state.

Tshisekedi won a surprise victory in the presidential election held on December 30 after three postponements, beating opposition leader Martin Fayulu, whom pre-vote polls had predicted would prevail.Nearly two months after his inauguration, Tshisekedi has been unable to push through his choice of prime minister as his party only garnered 32 seats out of 500 in the National Assembly.
