President Félix Tshisekedi maintains a firm hold on power midway through his second term, secured by the 2023 re-election and constitutional provisions extending until 2028, with no snap elections or impeachment proceedings underway. Traders' 90% consensus on "No" reflects the government's suppression of prior coup attempts, such as the 2024 Kinshasa plot, and sustained control despite eastern DRC security challenges from M23 rebels amid Rwanda tensions. Recent diplomacy—including Tshisekedi's April 1, 2026, Doha summit with Qatar's emir on crisis mediation and UN Security Council focus on regional stability—signals continuity rather than upheaval. Localized protests and opposition rhetoric persist but pose no imminent threat to his presidency, barring extraordinary escalation like a successful military overthrow.
