This development came to light on the evening of Tuesday, February 20, 2024, when Lukonde submitted a letter to the country’s President, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, explaining his decision to leave office.
It is reported he resigned to allow President Félix Tshisekedi, who was recently re-elected for a second term, to form a new cabinet.
Lukonde, who assumed the role of Prime Minister in 2021, took over from Sylvestre Ilunga Ilukamba.
Ilukamba’s tenure as Prime Minister ended following a loss of confidence from the Parliament, leading to his resignation.
