The Democratic Republic of Congo unveiled a new government on Wednesday, ending more than five months of deadlock following President Felix Tshisekedi’s re-election.

Tshisekedi won a second term after elections in late 2023 that also handed his Sacred Union coalition a large majority in parliament.

It also came at a time of renewed fighting in eastern DRC, where the Congolese army is trying to regain territory seized by Rwanda-backed M23 (March 23 Movement) rebels.

A lawyer by training, Muadiamvita was previously head of Congo’s official gazette, the journal of record for legal acts.
