SUBJECT: KABILA ALLIES WIN LION'S SHARE OF WESTERN KASAI'S 
SENATE DELEGATION 
 
REF: KINSHASA 51 
 
1. (U) Candidates aligned with President Joseph Kabila's 
Alliance for the Presidential Majority (AMP) will make up 
most of the national Senate delegation from Western Kasai. 
AMP coalition candidates won at least five -- and possibly as 
many as seven -- of the province's eight Senate seats January 
19, including three for the PPRD alone. Jean-Pierre Bemba's 
Union for the Nation (UfN) alliance won just one Senate seat 
in the assembly. 
 
2. (U) The AMP coalition victory is a reversal of fortune for 
the pro-Kabila forces after they lost out to Bemba allies in 
contests for the provincial assembly's leadership positions a 
week earlier (reftel). In addition to the three PPRD seats, 
the vote among Western Kasai's 54 provincial deputies 
resulted in two for independent candidates, and one apiece 
for Bemba's MLC, Ruberwa's RCD, and the Democratic Socialist 
Party (PDS, aligned with the AMP). Both independents will 
likely join the AMP alliance. 
 
3. (U) The Western Kasai assembly was evenly split between 
the AMP and UfN coalitions after October 29 election. A 
post-election alliance with the RCD gave the AMP coalition a 
slight numerical majority, although it failed to elect any 
AMP candidates to the assembly's top positions. 
 
3. (U) Many of the new Senators are political newcomers, 
although there are some familiar names in the delegation. 
These include Bashilenge traditional chief Emery Kalamba 
Wafuana (independent, likely allied with the AMP), High Media 
Authority President Modeste Mutinga (also an independent, and 
likely aligned with the AMP), and the DRC's chief auditor 
Evariste Mabi Mulumba (PPRD).
