SUBJECT: KABILA COALITION DOMINATES IN KATANGA SENATE 
 
REF: KINSHASA 86 
 
1.  (U) Results of the January 19 senatorial vote in Katanga 
confirmed the dominance of President Joseph Kabila's AMP 
coalition in his home province.  Nine of the 16 senators 
elected by the provincial assembly January 19 are members or 
allies of Kabila's AMP coalition.  Only one of the parties 
allied with Jean-Pierre Bemba's UN coalition won a seat. 
 
2.  (U) The UN senator elected in Katanga is Vincent Lunda 
Bululu who served as Mobutu's prime minister from 1990-91, 
ran for president in the July 2006 first round, and is one of 
the founders of Bemba's MLC.  Two well-known figures in the 
government of Laurent Kabila were also elected.  Floribert 
Luhonge, running as an independent, and Gaetan Kakudji of the 
PPRD, were Laurent Kabila's prosecutor general and interior 
minister respectively at the time of his assassination in 
2001. 
 
3.  (U) The Katangan delegation will include two of the five 
women elected to the Senate nationwide.  Of the 16 senators 
elected by the provincial deputies, four each were chosen to 
represent the districts of Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomani, Lualaba 
and Tanganyika.  The new Congolese constitution includes 
provisions for an eventual division of Katanga into four 
provinces comprising these areas.
