He is moving from the Prime Minister’s office to the upper house of Parliament in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde Kyenge, 47, is the new President of the Senate. He was elected yesterday, Monday, following a vote postponed several times due to a lack of consensus within the Sacred Union, the ruling majority. Originally from the Katanga region in the southeast of the country, the former Prime Minister becomes the constitutional substitute for President Félix Tshisekedi.
