New parliament majority backs Congo President Tshisekedi

A majority of 391 lawmakers in the Democratic Republic of Congo back President Felix Tshisekedi's new political alliance, according to a report he commissioned, the presidency said on Thursday.

The new alliance could enable Tshisekedi form a new cabinet of his choosing after a vote of no confidence ousted Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba.
