notes: On 13 July 2020, thousands of members and supporters of the Lamuka coalition and the RCD, including the MLC leader Jean-Pierre Bemba, marched in Kinshasa against the appointment of Ronsard Malonda as the chairperson of CENI (National Independent Electoral Commission), considered by many as the man behind the 2018 electoral fraud. The police intervened at the end of the march and dispersed the crowd using tear gas and water cannons, enforcing the ban on rallies due to the coronavirus restrictions. 16 marchers were arrested and 11 suffered injuries.
