Suminwa government

The Suminwa government also known as the Suminwa cabinet was formed following the appointment by President Félix Tshisekedi of Judith Suminwa as the first female Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on 1 April 2024.

The government was named on 29 May and was invested by the National Assembly on 12 June more than five months after the 2023 general election. Of the 405 deputies voting, 397 voted for the investiture and 8 abstained. By 14 June most, if not all, of the ministers had taken office and the government met for the first time as the Council of Ministers presided over by the President. This is the fourth government of Tshisekedi's presidency and the first of his second term.

Government
The 53 member government is composed of 6 deputy prime ministers, 10 ministers of state, 24 ministers, 3 delegate ministers, and 10 deputy ministers. Among the members, 29 are new, 15 have kept their portfolios, and 9 have new ones. There are 16 women and 37 men. All deputy prime ministers are men.

Nearly half the members, 26 to be precise, were freshly elected members of parliament, either as deputies or senators, when they joined the government. In their case, article 110 of the Constitution took effect, and their parliamentary mandates are suspended while in government to be taken up by their substitutes.
