Democratic Republic of Congo’s constitutional court this week approved a proposal that could see President Felix Tshisekedi run for a third term after a referendum. Here is what we know:Third term –Tshisekedi, 63, has been in power since 2019 and under the current constitution has to step down at the end of his second five-year term at the end of 2028. – ‘Prohibited subjects’ –The Congolese constitution limits the president to two terms and stipulates that it cannot be amended. A new constitution could equally reset the presidential term count for Tshisekedi. – Threat from the streets –DR Congo’s political opposition emerged weakened and fragmented from the 2023 presidential elections that Tshisekedi won by a wide margin.
