Violent scenes as allies of former DRC leader Joseph Kabila reject President Felix Tshisekedi’s move to end shaky governing coalition with them.
Amid a deepening political crisis, Tshisekedi on Sunday said he planned to form a new majority coalition and warned he might be forced to dissolve Parliament and hold fresh elections if he was not able to convince enough legislators to join.
“The present majority has crumbled and a new majority is required,” he said.
The announcement sparked violent scenes in Parliament on Monday, with sources close to the assembly’s pro-Kabila speaker charging that legislators of Tshisekedi’s party went on the rampage, destroying desks and chairs.
