Democratic Republic of Congo: what does the referendum law entail?

The National Assembly’s deputies in the Democratic Republic of Congo have overwhelmingly approved a legislative proposal concerning the organization of a referendum. This parliamentary endorsement, according to opposition factions, marks the initial phase of a broader strategy that could ultimately lead to amendments to the nation’s Constitution and potentially enable President Felix Tshisekedi to seek a third presidential term. This raises critical questions: what are the specific provisions outlined in this legislative text? How might it pave the way for a fundamental constitutional overhaul? And what subsequent stages could unfold in the progression towards a full constitutional revision?
