DR Congo President Felix Tshisekedi has enacted a law that paves the way for a change to the constitution, according to an order read on national television overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. It extends the conditions allowing a referendum on revising the constitution. The move has been condemned by the opposition as an attempt by Tshisekedi to run for a third term after his current last mandate ends in 2028. cld/clt/kjm/tw ...
