Alliance of the Presidential Majority
The Alliance of the Presidential Majority (French: Alliance pour la majorité présidentielle, AMP) is a political alliance formed by supporters of President-elect Joseph Kabila following the 2006 general elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1] This bloc currently holds the majority of seats in the National Assembly with 332 out of 500 seats.
On 3 October 2018 the Unified Lumumbist Party and its parliamentary allies exited the coalition in anticipation of the 2018 general elections.[2]

gollark: You know, I considered that a *bad* thing when I was writing it.
gollark: Or be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
gollark: How to avoid problems in an authoritarian regime: just don't dissent. Or seem like you might be dissenting. Or be related to anyone who's dissenting. Or be related to anyone they think is dissenting. Or make mistakes. Or not immediately follow any instruction given. Or say anything which could be interpreted as dissenting.
gollark: But you would lose useful stuff like "almost all technology" if you just went to live in the woods somewhere.
