« Un État, deux Constitutions »: Analyse des dispositions transitoires de la Constitution congolaise du 6 novembre 2015

Abstract

Adopted in institutional pain and popular protest, the Congolese Constitution of 6 Novem- ber 2015 raises some fundamental problems. Indeed, its transitional measure establishes a kind of constitutional dualism, maintaining the institutions created by the 2002 Constitution along with those of the new fundamental text. This article analyses the causes and conse- quences of such a constitutional cohabitation, highlights the motives of the constitutional muddle and points out the desire for preservation of political power in the light of constitu- tional change.
