The ruling comes after Tshisekedi, who took office in 2019, won the country’s presidential election last month.
The court’s decision is seen as a major boost to Tshisekedi’s chances of securing a second term and potentially beyond.
Tshisekedi’s opponents had challenged the constitutionality of the law, but the court ultimately ruled in his favor.

The court’s decision is seen as a major victory for Tshisekedi, but his opponents have vowed to continue challenging the constitutionality of the law.
The ruling comes ahead of a crucial election in DR Congo next year.
Tshisekedi’s popularity has been boosted by his efforts to improve the country’s economy and security situation.
The court’s decision is seen as a major boost to Tshisekedi’s chances of securing a second term and potentially beyond.
