An economist, she takes over as prime minister from Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde,
following President Felix Tshisekedi’s sweeping re-election on December 20.

Tshisekedi officially triumphed with 73.47 percent and the vote passed largely
peacefully in a country long torn by violence and instability.

The opposition branded the ballot a sham.

Voting was officially extended by a day due to logistical snarls and polls were
open for days after in remote areas.

Parties supporting Tshisekedi garnered more than 90 percent of the seats in
parliament, allowing him to legislate with ease.

The new prime minister will be tasked with pushing the president’s declared
priorities of employment, youth, women and national cohesion for the nation of
about 100 million people.

He first became president in 2019 promising to improve living conditions in the
DR Congo—which boasts mineral riches but has a largely impoverished
population—and put an end to 25 years of bloodshed in the east.

Tshisekedi failed to keep those promises but campaigned for a second term on his
achievements such as free primary medication, asking for another mandate to
“consolidate” the progress.

According to the United Nations, some seven million people have been internally
displaced by conflict in the DR Congo, one of the world’s poorest countries.

The security situation has worsened in North Kivu province where a Rwanda-backed
rebel group M23 has seized swathes of territory over the last two years.
