The Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (French: Premier ministre de la République démocratique du Congo, Swahili: Waziri Mkuu wa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo, Lingala: Minisele ya Yambo wa Republiki ya Kɔ́ngɔ Demokratiki) is the head of government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Constitution of the Third Republic grants the Prime Minister a significant amount of power.
The post is currently occupied by Sama Lukonde. He is the successor to Sylvestre Ilunga, who was removed from office on 29 January 2021. On 20 February 2024 Lukonde chose to resign in order to remain a member of the new legislature. President Tshisekedi asked him and his government to continue to manage current affairs until the new government is in place.[1]
