Next Presidential Election in DRC to Be Held on December 16, 2028
On the same day, legislative elections will also be held, as outlined in the roadmap for the 2025–2029 electoral cycle, which was released by the National Electoral Commission on April 4.
Here are some other milestones:
November 15, 2028: Start of the electoral campaign;
January 17, 2029: Publication of preliminary results;
January 19, 2029: Proclamation of final results by the Constitutional Court;
January 20, 2029: Swearing-in of the president-elect.
The president of the DRC is elected through a single-round majority system for a five-year term, renewable once. The current head of state, Félix Tshisekedi, was re-elected in December 2023 for a second term.
At the end of 2024, he called for a review of the Constitution, which he described as "the product of foreign intelligence designed to keep the DRC in a fragile state."
Some then accused the president of wanting to stay in power for too long. However, Tshisekedi stated that this review "had no connection whatsoever with a third term."
