DRC's first vice president of national aasembly has been impeached by MPs, start of a deep divorce?

Members have removed the first Vice-President of their National Assembly by a very large majority.
The evening will have been heated in the National Assembly and yet the vote of the petition which was to lead to the removal of Jean-Marc Kabund-a-Kabund, also president a.i. of udps by Félix Tshisekedi's only decision, did not do any doubt.
Indeed, since the announcement of Félix Tshisekedi's presidential victory (without any ticket of a voting office has ever been published), the presidential party knows that it is and will always be under the supervision of a legislative power national fully in the hands of Joseph Kabila's Common Front for Congo (FCC).
MLC MP Jean-Jacques Mamba's petition, launched on the grounds that the first vice president of the National Assembly would have negatively affected the image of his institution by publicly providing on the air of a kinoise radio that call a convention to vote the state Health emergency in the face of the coronavirus would cost "$ 7 million", a figure not related to reality, so had every chance to be voted if it collected the 50 votes needed (out of 500 Members) for be able to be dropped.
Indeed, if the opposition left the two components of the coalition in power to tear apart, this petition could only exist if FCC members decided to sign their signature at the bottom of this text. From the moment, among the signing of the petition, there was a large majority of FCC, there was little doubt that the text would go to the end of its process and would therefore lead to the removal of Kabund-a-Kabund. And in fact, out of 315 MPs participating in the vote during this of-19 pandemic, 17 voted against the petition, 9 abstention, while 289 elected officials voted in favor of the text.
Hot spring in Congolese rooms
The tension between Jean-Mard Kabund and Jeanine Mabunda, the very kabiliste president of the National Assembly is no mystery to anyone. The eviction of Kabund, who tried a last wrong to his president when she voted the petition while a dispute was still high on one of the petition's signatures, did not fix anything. Through this hostility, it is the limits of the FCC - cach coalition (of Tshisekedi and... Kamerhe) that appear in the open. And what just played in the National Assembly brings back early May tensions in the Senate when a Senator from Modest Bahati (former FCC member who came closer to cach), Mrs. Jewelry Goya Kitenge, had tried to put into trouble the president of the Upper House, Alexis Thambwe Mwamba. In question of the renovation work of the Chamber and its surroundings through a contract signed voluntarily and without being included in the budget.
If President Thambwe was put in a brief form by a well-conducted and very well-documented statement of the Senator of Haut Katanga, the man, after a little glorious unpacking session, quickly back himself, understanding that he had nothing fear because - although some senators might be tempted to play a pendable tour to the former Justice Minister still very close to the first circle of the kabilie - he had a large majority more than comfortable in the Senate to ensure his tranquility.
The opposite of Kabund and the few "elected" of the cach platform who know and to whom the kabilistes reminded this Monday evening that they depended exclusively on their good will... especially in this hot spring where Kinshasa rustles, as usual , of a thousand rumors.
The first announces an in-depth restructuring of the government. Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga could pack his bags. The name of Matata Ponyo is regularly mentioned. Tshisekedi's DRC has lived on credit for more than a year. The Covid, the drop in export and the melting of raw materials prices make the state crates, which are already hungry, are now almost completely empty and with no prospect of a better in the short term.
The DRC will have to hit quickly on the doors of international donors. The IMF and World Bank have always had a little weakness for the man at the Maniema red tie. The presidential camp has finished burning its last rounds by definitely being unable to - simply - reduce his lifestyle.
What to consider, therefore, the start of the second rumor and the end of the cach-FCC coalition in power for a co-existence that would send back udps and UNC in the opposition and leave Félix Tshisekedi alone in the opposition and leave Félix Tshisekedi alone in front of his current ally. A scenario that should still stir up the discord in udps, deprived of maroquins and having only a few elected officials, and which could also harm the very survival of the UNC, the party of a vital Kamerhe, still held at the of prison as part of the case of diversion of funds during the 100-day program of the head of state.
Kinshasa likes to spread these rumors. Kabila has gone master in their use to gauge their possible impact. Only for sure, Kabund is no longer the first vice president of the National Assembly, Kamerhe is still in prison and state crates are empty every day a little more.
