Tshisekedi promulgates law setting conditions for referendum

President Félix Tshisekedi signed law n° 26/045 on November 9, setting the rules for a referendum in DR Congo.

President Félix Tshisekedi promulgated law n° 26/045 on November 9, which sets the conditions for organising a referendum in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Media reports on November 11 gave the promulgation top billing, alongside the house arrest of Aubin Minaku, a member of the PPRD party and former president of the National Assembly.

The law is the legal step needed before a referendum can be organised in the country.
