This article details the various political parties in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has seen extensive civil conflict since independence in 1960, and no free and fair election had been held there until 2006. In the absence of an effective central government, most political groups (especially those in the interior) exist solely to control territory and enforce allegiance to certain leaders instead of performing the typical party functions of electoral participation and ideological debate.[needs update?]
In 2014 there were 602 parties registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and 910 in 2023, an increase of 51%.[1][2]
