Etat-partis et gouvernance politique en République Démocratique du Congo

This article aims to demonstrate in order to propose possible solutions, the governance of public affairs by political parties. In other words, it examines the role played by political parties and/or political groupings in the management of public affairs at a time of consensual management of the country, while emphasizing the posture of Congolese politicians who are more at listening to the watchwords of the parties and consequently relegating to the background the institutional collaboration as provided for by the constitution. Indeed, good governance is at the heart of the development policies advocated by international institutions. However, in fragile states like the DRC, its implementation comes up against strong resistance. The rule of law that the DRC wants to be is one in which the Constitution imposes on everyone, that is to say, on the State itself, on its agents and on the rulers, respect for the rules of law. Unfortunately, the management of resources in the DRC is far from approaching the principles of good governance to which the Democratic Republic of Congo claims through its constitution of February 18, 2006. It is observed that the actors involved in the management of public affairs act not, on behalf of the higher interest of the Nation but on the contrary, by conforming to the dictate of their political parties or political regrouping, which led us to qualify suddenly, the DRC of a State-parties.
