the Democratic Republic of the Congo


Article 2[1] of the 2005 Congolese Constitution,[2] which came into effect on 18 February 2006, specifies twenty-five new provinces while retaining the capital city/province of Kinshasa. This new territorial organization was scheduled to take effect within thirty-six months of the new constitution's promulgation. It did not.

As of early October 2010, an Alliance of the Presidential Majority meeting brought up the issue of constitutional revision.[3] According to Kinshasa newspapers, they recommended 8 articles of the current constitution for revision, including Article 226, which calls for the creation of 26 provinces out of the current 11 (Kinshasa + 10) within 36 months of the installation of the elected institutions. The AMP meeting only wanted to change the deadline for doing so (the last one lapsed in May 2010).
