Wednesday\u2019s (27\/01) vote marks the latest episode in a power struggle that has roiled sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s biggest nation for months, pitching Tshisekedi against loyalists to former president Joseph Kabila, who ruled the DRC for 18 years. Last month Tshisekedi moved to end a coalition formed with Kabila that has constrained his authority since he took office in January 2019. This culminated in Wednesday\u2019s no-confidence vote against the prime minister, one of the last vestiges of Kabila\u2019s hold on government. It passed with 367 of 377 votes. Under the DRC\u2019s constitution, parliamentary censure requires the prime minister to step down within 24 hours.\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2021\/1\/27\/dr-congo-parliament-votes-out-pro-kabila-pm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via: Aljazeera Legislators in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have voted to remove Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba, collapsing the government and handing President Felix Tshisekedi a chance &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/2021\/01\/28\/parlamento-da-republica-democratica-do-congo-vota-para-destituir-o-primeiro-ministro-ilunga\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">DR Congo parliament votes to remove Prime Minister Ilunga<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[43,142,246],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.10.7","language":"en","enabled_languages":["br","en"],"languages":{"br":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3763"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3763"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3766,"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3763\/revisions\/3766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ufrgs.br\/cebrafrica\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
