The Democratic Republic of Congo's ruling coalition, Union Sacrée de la Nation, has launched a formal public consultation on revising the country's constitution, inviting political parties, civil society groups, religious organisations, and citizens to submit proposals within one month. After the 20 May deadline, a technical commission will compile the submissions before presenting a report to President Félix Tshisekedi for his final decision. The move has raised alarm among opposition groups and civil society organisations, who fear the process could be used to remove presidential term limits and allow Tshisekedi — currently in his second and constitutionally final term, due to end in January 2029 — to seek a third term in office.
