List of political parties in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Political parties in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo Kinshasa) lists political parties in this country.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has seen extensive civil conflict since independence in 1960, and no free and fair election has ever been held there. In the absence of an effective central government, most political groups (especially those in the interior) exist solely to control territory and enforce allegiance to certain leaders instead of performing the typical party functions of electoral participation and ideological debate.

The parties

The general rule on naming applies. That means: the parties are named in the English translation and the original native name is placed on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form. Rationale and specifics: See: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English).
