Judith Sunimwa Tuluka, Prime Minister of DR Congo, continues consultations for a parity government
After 23 days since her appointment as Prime Minister, Mrs. Judith Suminwa Tuluka, this Monday, April 22, 2024, finished receiving political groups.
She received members of civil society, unions, National Youth Council, National Press Union, teachers' association and others.
Prime Minister Judith Suminwa aspires to put in place a small government, limiting its strength to 45 members, including ministers and deputy ministers.
The past government was made up of 57 members.
According to well-informed sources, she also makes a point of promoting parity and introducing new political figures.
The formula adopted stipulates that a political group must have at least ten national deputies to claim a ministry, thus aligning its ambitions with those of Félix Tshisekedi, who campaigns for a renewal of personalities in government and better female representation.
However, many political party leaders resist the idea of being sidelined.
Another struggle is also emerging around the place given to civil society in this new government.
At the same time, the political groups concerned have already started to submit the lists of their candidates.
Several close to Félix Tshisekedi affirm that the composition of this new government could take place at the end of the month or at the beginning of May, at the latest.
