C64 Denounces Constitutional Court Rebellion Over CD Referendum Law

• C64 coalition denounces Constitutional Court's decision on referendum law.
• Court's ruling deemed null and void by C64, sparking judicial rebellion claims.
• Potential disruption to referendum process in RDC raises concerns for lawyers and compliance officers.

The court's ruling, which was announced on July 29, 2026, in Kinshasa, has been deemed null and void by C64.

A coalition of opposition groups, known as C64, has denounced the Constitutional Court's decision to declare a referendum law constitutional. The court's ruling, which was announced on July 29, 2026, in Kinshasa, has been deemed null and void by C64. According to C64, this move constitutes a judicial rebellion against the constitutional order and a plot against the country's constitution.

The referendum law at the center of this controversy is aimed at determining the future of the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC). The Constitutional Court's decision to declare it constitutional has been met with opposition from C64, which claims that the court overstepped its authority. This development could potentially disrupt the referendum process, a scenario that lawyers and compliance officers should closely monitor.

The nullification of the Constitutional Court's judgment by C64 has significant implications for the country's constitutional order. The move raises questions about the balance of power between the judiciary and other branches of government in RDC. Furthermore, it highlights the high stakes involved in the referendum process and the potential for disruptions to this critical aspect of democratic governance.

Lawyers and compliance officers should watch for potential disruptions to the referendum process in CD, as a high-stakes constitutional court judgment has been nullified by a coalition of opposition groups.
