The President of the Senate, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde, who also serves as the moral authority of the political coalition Agissons et Bâtissons (AB), convened a high-level meeting at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Bandal on Sunday, July 26, 2026. The gathering brought together members of the Presidency, national deputies, senators, party secretaries-general, and executive secretaries within the coalition.
Held on the sidelines of the closing of the extraordinary parliamentary session and the start of parliamentary recess, the event focused on two critical topics: an assessment of the coalition’s progress and a deep dive into pressing national issues, particularly the referendum law and the national dialogue initiative.
The discussions culminated in a unanimous decision by the AB coalition to fully support President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi’s efforts to advance both the referendum law and the ongoing national dialogue process. A key consensus reached was the importance of maintaining cohesion within the coalition, ensuring alignment between elected officials and the Presidency, as well as between legislators and government representatives.
During the meeting, participants engaged in a thorough exchange of views, reaffirming their commitment to strengthening the coalition’s unity and strategic direction. The decision to back Tshisekedi’s initiatives underscores the coalition’s recognition of the President’s leadership in navigating the country through this pivotal phase.
