In the DRC, Félix Tshisekedi promulgates a controversial law that paves the way for a third term

The controversial law in the Democratic Republic of Congo allows for a referendum on presidential term limits, potentially enabling President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term. Despite opposition concerns, the law was enacted after approval by both legislative chambers. It contradicts the constitution, which prohibits changes to presidential term limits, but allows modifications for "major dysfunction" through a referendum. Tshisekedi has expressed willingness to pursue a third term if the public supports it.
