The Congolese Senate approved legislation on June 15, 2026, outlining the procedures for a forthcoming constitutional referendum. This law establishes the framework for organizing and conducting the vote, paving the way for potential changes to the DRC’s constitution. Details regarding the specific proposed constitutional amendments were not included in this report. The adoption by the Senate represents a significant step in the process, though further legislative stages or approvals may be required before the referendum can be scheduled. The move signals a potential shift in the DRC’s political landscape, dependent on the outcome of the public vote. This development follows ongoing discussions about revising the constitution to address current national challenges. The legislation’s passage is expected to initiate preparations for the referendum itself.
