This motion initiated by Chérubin Okende, a deputy from Moise Katumbi's party, is one of the main levers of the Félix Tshisekedi camp to accelerate the process of change in leadership both in the National Assembly and in the government.

With the admissibility threshold of 1/4, or 125 signatures, being largely exceeded, these deputies say they are putting pressure on the current directorate of the National Assembly so that the motion is examined by parliamentarians as soon as possible.

For their part, members of the Common Front for Congo, Joseph Kabila's platform, are protesting what they view as a violation of all texts in force in the DRC. They rely on two recent rulings from the Constitutional Court that limit, according to their interpretation, the power of this interim bureau and urge it to organize the election of the permanent bureau (which is its main responsibility).

On the side of those close to the Prime Minister, who comes from the FCC, they assure that the head of government is not ready to submit his resignation.

For its part, the interim bureau (which had also included parliamentary oversight on the agenda of the extraordinary session) has not yet ruled on this question of a censure motion, but one of its members says he has no objection to addressing it. This, even though he finds the schedule of the extraordinary session already full.

The interim bureau of the National Assembly must organize the election of the permanent bureau before February 3, the official closing date of the extraordinary parliamentary session.
