Although DRC's Senator-for-life Joseph Kabila Kabange had previously suspended his trip to Kolwezi â€" the capital city of Lualaba Province in the south of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this afternoon he suddenly travelled there.
Kabila was seen on the Kinshasa airport tarmac walking with his entourage to board a waiting Private jet to fly to Kolwezi.
All Congolese newspapers are awash with this trip on high suspicion that the former President may be trying to lobby for something after losing badly in the Sunday's parliamentary wrestle with President Felix Tshisekedi.
Kabila is considered to be patching up plan B after he lost a parliamentary majority and speaker Jeanine Mabunda.
The President of the National Assembly Jeanine Mabunda was dismissed this Thursday, December 10, 2020 at the end of the vote organized today in the National Assembly.
Out of 483 voters, 281 voted in favor of the dismissal of Jeanine Mabunda, 200 voted against, while a deputy abstained and a void ballot. Note that when this petition was filed, 250 elected representatives had signed it.
Jeanine Mabunda was the subject of a petition, as were the other members of the bureau of the lower house of Parliament.
