The Senate President, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde, who also serves as the moral authority of the political coalition Agissons et Bâtissons (AB), convened a high-level meeting at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Bandal on Sunday, July 26, 2026. The gathering brought together members of the Presidency, national deputies, senators, party secretaries-general, and executive secretaries within the coalition.

This carefully planned gathering, held as the extraordinary parliamentary session concluded and lawmakers prepared for recess, centered on two critical discussions: an assessment of the coalition’s progress and a deep dive into pressing national issues—most notably, the referendum law and ongoing dialogue efforts.

Following extensive deliberations, the AB coalition reached a consensus on the importance of cohesion, both between elected officials and the Presidency, as well as between legislators and government representatives. A key outcome of the meeting was the coalition’s public endorsement of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi’s commitment to advancing the referendum law and fostering constructive dialogue.

The decision reflects a unified approach to addressing the country’s political and institutional challenges, reinforcing the coalition’s role in supporting the government’s agenda. By aligning behind these national priorities, AB aims to strengthen stability and promote sustainable progress through democratic means.
