Who (officially) handed power to Félix Tshisekedi?

  • Étienne Tshisekedi

  • Vital Kamerhe

  • Martin Fayulu

  • Joseph Kabila

Answer

Joseph Kabila officially handed power to Félix Tshisekedi on 24 January 2019, after a tense election that was marred by allegations of fraud. Kabila had been in power since 2001, and his decision to step down marked the first time in Congo's history that a president has peacefully handed over power to an elected successor.
