 President of the DR Congo, Felix Shishikedi, is in full control of a new government unveiled after a form-and-par struggle with predecessor Joseph Kabila. The president had in February named the head of state-owned mining giant, Jack Mines, Jean-Michael Samalukondo Kingi as prime minister. The inauguration of the first government, dubbed Union Sacre, took place on Monday 26 April. The new prime minister, Jean-Michel Samalukondo, received a resounding success with 410 MPs voting in favour out of 412 present.
