The Constitutional Court of the Democratic Republic of Congo confirmed the re-election of Félix Tshisekedi to the presidency with 73.47% of the votes. This decision comes after taking under advisement the requests requesting the annulment of the presidential elections. The Court also annulled the votes in certain constituencies, while declaring certain requests inadmissible or unfounded. The swearing-in of the re-elected president is scheduled for January 20, 2024, according to the calendar of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). Despite allegations of irregularities, the main opposition candidates have not appealed to the Constitutional Court, considering it subservient to power.

Yeah, I think Franck has mentioned they all resign after Felix gets inaugurated and eventually he can appoint ministers, although PM and one or two others are appointed by the parliament, not exclusively Felix.

Who is Jean Pierre Lihau?
Jean-Pierre Lihau Ebua Kalokola Monga Libana, better known as Jean-Pierre Lihau (born 20 January 1975 in Kinshasa) is a DR Congo politician from the People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy currently serving as Minister of the Civil Service, Administrative Modernization and Innovation in Public Services in the Lukonde cabinet.[1]
He is the son of Marcel Lihau?
APRIL 13, 2021 AT 8:54 P.M.
0COMMENTS
He was expected to be President of the Lower House of Parliament, just after the fall of Jeanine Mabunda. He did not go where the population expected him. But he still created a surprise. At least, Félix Tshisekedi created a surprise by appointing Jean-Pierre Lihau Ebua Kalokola Monga Libana Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Civil Service, modernization of administration and innovation of public services.
Born in Kinshasa on January 20, 1975, Jean-Pierre Lihau is the son of Professor Antoine Marcel Lihau, one of the founding fathers of the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), the ruling party. Before assuming his new position, he was until then a national deputy, elected from the constituency of Bumba, in the province of Mongala.
A lawyer by training, Jean-Pierre Lihau holds a master's degree in public law. He also obtained a master's degree in political and administrative sciences, as well as a university diploma in Administration and organization of parliamentary work. From 1999 to 2000, he was Assistant and then Technical Advisor to the Minister of Human Rights. In 2001, he left the country to pursue his university studies. He subsequently served as an international legal consultant and expert, notably for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Jean-Pierre Lihau returned to the DRC around 2006. In 2007, he joined the People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD), the political party of former President Joseph Kabila, as Communicator and then in charge of parliamentary questions. In 2009, he was appointed Senior Advisor in charge of legal and diplomatic issues to the President of the National Assembly at the time, Professor Évariste Boshab.
In 2012, Jean-Pierre Lihau was promoted to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of the National Assembly Aubin Minaku Ndjalandjoko. Then, he became his Chief of Staff from 2015 to 2019.
On the sidelines of the national legislative elections of December 2018, Jean-Pierre Lihau was elected National Deputy for the constituency of Bumba in the province of Mongala, under the PPRD label. In April 2019 after his election as National Deputy, he was appointed Deputy Rapporteur of the commission responsible for developing the new Internal Regulations of the National Assembly. He initiated the creation of the permanent commission for monitoring and evaluation of the execution of laws, resolutions, recommendations and public policies.
Expected to join the FCC-CACH coalition Government, Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga will finally offer him to join his Cabinet as Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Political, Legal, Administrative and Diplomatic Questions. Eight months later, during the signing of the decree appointing the members of his Cabinet and against all expectations, Jean-Pierre Lihau revealed to the Prime Minister his wish to keep his mandate as National Deputy and left his cabinet.
On November 10, 2020, in opposition to the slogan of his political family, Jean-Pierre Lihau is the first PPRD Deputy to participate in the consultations initiated by President Félix Tshisekedi with a view to the creation of the Sacred Union of the Nation . Then, he is among the signatories of the petition which led to the forfeiture of the office of the National Assembly chaired by Jeannine Mabunda. After the change of the parliamentary majority in the National Assembly, Jean-Pierre Lihau was designated by his peers as coordinator of the 42 PPRD deputies within the Sacred Union. Presented at the perch of the Lower House of Parliament, Jean-Pierre Lihau will, at the last minute, pledge allegiance to the candidacy of Christophe Mboso N'kodia who subsequently became President of the National Assembly.
As Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Civil Service, several challenges await this member of the Government Sama Lukonde, in particular the modernization of this portfolio. “I give thanks to the eternal Almighty God, master of times and history, for this elevation.
I thank the President of the Republic for this mark of confidence. I understand the scale of the task that now falls to me and I know that I can count on the contribution of my compatriots so that together we can finally provide our country with a modern public administration, worthy of its greatness,” said writes the New Deputy Prime Minister, some time after his appointment.

Jean Pierre's father?:
Marcel Antoine Lihau or Ebua Libana la Molengo Lihau (29 September 1931 – 9 April 1999) was a Congolese jurist, law professor and politician who served as the inaugural First President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Congo from 1968 until 1975, and was involved in the creation of two constitutions for the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Lihau attended the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium with the help of sympathetic Jesuit educators, becoming one of the first Congolese to study law. While there he encouraged Congolese politicians to form an alliance that allowed them to secure the independence of the Congo from Belgium. He served briefly as a justice official and negotiator for the Congolese central government before being appointed to lead a commission to draft a permanent national constitution. He was made dean of law faculty at Lovanium University in 1963. The following year he helped deliver the Luluabourg Constitution to the Congolese, which was adopted by referendum.
In 1965, Joseph-Desiré Mobutu seized total control of the country and directed Lihau to produce a new constitution. Three years later Lihau was appointed First President of the new Supreme Court of Justice of the Congo. He retained the position, advocating for judicial independence, until 1975, when he refused to force a harsh sentence upon student protesters. Lihau was summarily removed from his post by Mobutu and placed under house arrest. Becoming increasingly opposed to the government, he helped found the reform-oriented Union pour la Démocratie et le Progrès Social. Mobutu responded by suspending his rights and banishing him to a rural village. His health in decline, Lihau sought refuge from political persecution in the United States in 1985, accepting a job as a professor of constitutional law at Harvard University. He continued to advocate for democracy in the Congo and returned to the country in 1990, to discuss political reform. He went back to the United States to seek medical treatment and died there in 1999.
Personal life and death
—Statement by the UDPS leadership upon Lihau's death (translated from French)[27]Lihau married future politician Sophie Kanza on 26 December 1964. They had six daughters: Elisabeth, Anne, Irene, Catherine, Rachel and Sophie.[2] The couple separated in the late 1970s,[1] and Lihau saw little of his family during his years in the United States.[43] In Lihau's later life a young politician named Jean-Pierre Kalokola claimed to be his illegitimate son. In response, Lihau successfully filed a lawsuit against him. After Lihau's death, Kalokola legally adopted his surname. Lihau's daughters denounced the action as a ploy by Kalokola to further his own political career.[54] In 2019, National Deputy Dismas Mangbengu declared that Kalokola was not Lihau's son, and Kalokola responded by threatening to sue Mangbengu. The Lihau family issued a statement requesting Mangbengu not to involve himself in a private family matter.[55]
“Media injustice: Jean-Pierre Lihau victim of false accusations of electoral fraud in Bumba”
9 JANUARY 2024BY FATSHIMETRIE
The candidate for national deputy, Jean-Pierre Lihau, is the subject of unfounded accusations concerning alleged electoral fraud in the constituency of Bumba, in the province of Mongala, according to his team.
In a clarification, it is specified that the video circulating on the internet, showing the alleged fraud, is in reality a montage aimed at damaging the image of Jean-Pierre Lihau. It is important to emphasize that his political reputation is undeniable in the Greater Equator region, particularly in Mongala.
During the electoral campaign, Lihau Ebua was able to attract crowds during his meetings with the population. He was also supported by other figures from the Sacred Union of the Nation, who actively worked for the re-election of Félix Tshisekedi.
As an elected official from Bumba during the 2018 national legislative elections and current Deputy Prime Minister of the Civil Service, Jean-Pierre Lihau has no need to cheat to obtain votes. His achievements speak for themselves and have earned him the trust of the people of Bumba.
It is regrettable to note that such unfair accusations can tarnish the reputation of a politician who worked for the well-being of his population. It is important to be wary of fabrications and misleading information that can circulate on the internet, and to favor an objective analysis of the facts before making hasty judgments.
Jean-Pierre Lihau and his team will continue to work with determination for the development of Mongala and the well-being of its inhabitants.

I thought you were only interested in fact. I guess it’s fact this is your opinion.
