Шаблон:Infobox subdivision type
The cities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are administrative divisions of provinces with the exception of Kinshasa which itself has the status of a province. Cities are further divided into 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 (fr. territoires, sing. territoire).Шаблон:Sfn Each provincial division is also a constituency of the National Assembly as well as of the Provincial Assembly of its province.Шаблон:Sfnm
Each city is led by a mayor (fr. maire) and is further divided into communes with each commune led by a burgomaster (fr. bourgmestre).Шаблон:Sfn Currently mayors, burgomasters, and their deputies are appointed by the government.Шаблон:Sfn Elections to bring about 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.Шаблон:Sfn
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.Шаблон:Sfn 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.Шаблон:Sfn Uniquely, its 24 communes are also Provincial Assembly constituencies and are grouped into four National Assembly constituencies.Шаблон:Sfnm
List of cities
Шаблон: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.[1]
Cities in the making
