The '''cities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo''' are [[administrative divisions]] of [[Provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|province]]s with the exception of [[Kinshasa]] which itself has the status of a province.  Cities are further divided into [[Communes of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|communes]].  They are led by mayors except for Kinshasa which is led by a governor.

==Provincial cities==
The 25 provinces of DR Congo are divided into 32 cities (fr. ''villes'', sing. ''ville'') and 145 [[Territories of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|territories]] (fr. ''territoires'', sing. ''territoire'').{{Sfn|Organic Law No. 08/016|loc=Articles 3–4}}  Each provincial division is also a constituency of the [[National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|National Assembly]] as well as of the Provincial Assembly of its province.{{Sfnm|1a1=Annex I |1p=3 |2a1=Annex II |2p=14}}

Each city is led by a mayor (fr. ''maire'') and is further divided into communes with each commune led by a [[burgomaster]] (fr. ''bourgmestre'').{{Sfn|Organic Law No. 08/016|loc=Articles 41,3,60}}  Currently mayors, burgomasters, and their deputies are appointed by the government.{{Sfn|Radio Okapi 27 Nov 2022}}  [[Elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo#Upcoming elections|Elections]] to bring about [[Subdivisions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo#Governance|elected local government]] are scheduled for December 2023—May 2024.

All provincial capitals are, by [[organic law]], cities and do not need to meet the requirement of having a population of at least 100,000.{{Sfn|Organic Law No. 08/016|loc=Article 6}}

==Kinshasa==
The capital city of Kinshasa is a one of a kind administrative division due to article 2 of the Constitution which makes it a division of the country and gives it the status of a province.{{Sfn|Constitution|loc=Article 2}}  In practice this means that—like a province—it has a provincial government with an elected governor and an Assembly, but—like a city—it is divided into communes led by burgomasters.{{Sfn|ADIAC 29 Dec 2022}}  Uniquely, its 24 communes are also Provincial Assembly constituencies and are grouped into four National Assembly constituencies.{{Sfnm|1a1=Annex II |1pp=14,15 |2a1=Annex I |2pp=3,4-5}}

{{Politics of the Democratic Republic of the Congo}}

Due to the lack of reliable and comparable population figures, electoral districts are allocated seats in proportion to their voter registration numbers. The number of seats allocated to a city in the National Assembly and the Provincial Assembly is one measure of its relative political importance nationally and within its province respectively.

In 2018 cities accounted for 27% of the electorate, or 16% when Kinshasa is excluded.<ref>The total 2018 electorate was 40,371,439 as stated in  [[#{{SfnRef|Annex I}}|Annex I.3]] p. 7.</ref>
