DRC: Congolese satisfied with the composition of the new government

Since May 29th, the DRC has a new government tasked with the significant challenge of addressing the country’s numerous challenges.

Following the announcement of the members of this new government, an institute specializing in public opinion conducted surveys to gauge people’s views on the matter.

According to the findings, 64% of Congolese citizens support the Prime Minister’s choices for her government members, while 21% believe that this team may not meet the expectations of the Congolese people.

Additionally, 15% are reserving judgment until they see the government in action.

To assess the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, six criteria were highlighted, including representation of the opposition, technocrats, youth, gender, national representation, and political formations.

In the current DRC government, President Félix Tshisekedi insists on including opposition members to promote national cohesion and engage everyone, regardless of affiliations, in governing the Republic.

This move has been appreciated by 54% of Congolese, while 29% view it as an opening that may not yield significant results.

The Suminwa government includes 17 women, accounting for 31% of its composition.

According to most Congolese, these numbers reflect a significant step forward in recognizing Congolese women’s leadership in decision-making bodies and the President’s commitment to promoting gender equality and valuing women’s roles in public affairs management.

It’s worth noting that in this new government, women hold key positions in the areas such as Educationa, Foreign Affairs, and the New Climate Economy, signifying their increasing responsibilities and contributions to national governance.
