Senate elections will take place in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2024 and early 2025 to renew the 108 elected members of the Senate elected by indirect ballot by the members of the 26 provincial assemblies. The elections will take place in four parts. The election of the 84 senators representing Kinshasa and 19 provinces will be held 29 April at the same time as the gubernatorial elections. This is followed by the election of the senators of Equateur and Ituri on 24 May, and on 26 May those of Mai-Ndombe and North Kivu for a total of 16 senators. The election of the last 8 senators will be scheduled after the December elections to complete the provincial assemblies of Kwilu and Nord-Ubangi.
These elections follow the re-election of President Félix Tshisekedi at the 2023 presidential election as well as the legislative and provincial elections held concurrently, with the results of the latter leading to the complete renewal of 22 of the 26 electoral colleges responsible for electing senators.
Electoral system.
The Senate has 108 elected seats with four seats per province and eight for the city-province of Kinshasa. The members of a provincial assembly make up the electoral college that elects the senators of that province. Provincial assemblies can have between 18 and 48 members depending on voter registration totals.
Senators are elected for the term of five years, renewable, by indirect multi-member proportional voting with open lists and a single preferential vote. The distribution is done according to the largest remainder method. Each senator is elected with two substitutes.
Former elected Presidents of the Republic are by right senators for life. Joseph Kabila is the first president of the Third Republic to have become so in 2019.

29 April results.
On 29 April twenty senate elections combined for the first time with gubernatorial elections, took place without incident. The CENI published the provisional results for the Senate on 30 April and these were confirmed by the Constitutional Court on 16 May.
Of the 84 senators elected, only the three from Ensemble are in the opposition, eight were incumbents—of which six women, and three were also elected governor. To become governor, the governors-elect of Haut-Katanga, Kwango, and Lualaba will have to relinguish their senate seats to the benefit of their substitutes.
