Le Palmarès notes that "by a decree published yesterday, the Supreme Court approves the Internal Rules and Regulations of the National Assembly," but adds that "the High Court rejected two among the 232 articles" of the said Internal Rules.

"With the validation of the Internal Rules and Regulations, everything becomes clear at the National Assembly," comments La Référence Plus, which sees "the installation of a definitive National Assembly Office taking place before long".

According to La Tempête des Tropiques, « after the validation of these Internal Rules and Regulations, Mbenza Thubi, president of the provisional National Assembly Office, expects that the installation of the definitive Office will take place in less than one week."

For its part, Le Potentiel anticipates "already a row" within the National Assembly, considering that "the Supreme Court's [Thursday] decree paves the way for the election of a definitive National Assembly Office."

According to L'Avenir, by confirming the validity of the Internal Rules and Regulations of the National Assembly, "the Supreme Court once again ignored the Union for the Nation" (the coalition which supported Jean-Pierre in his unsuccessful bid for President) which had rejected some of the articles of the said Internal Rules.

In other news, Le Phare reports that "Antoine Gizenga, who three days ago was nominated as Informant (whose role is to identify the majority coalition in the National Assembly, from which majority the President will select a prime minister), yesterday began a series of consultations" to that end.

"Antoine Gizenga encounters the first the difficulties" in his job, notes Le Palmarès, explaining that "the coordinator of AMP [the coalition of political parties supporting Joseph Kabila] stressed to Gizenga the political weight held by this coalition with its 273 deputies in the National Assembly, while [AMP's spokesman] Olivier Kamitatu and Mbusa Nyamwisi boycotted yesterday's meeting" with Gizenga.

In an editorial headlined "Will Gizenga succeed?", L'Oservateur notes that "he will if he will prove to be a realist, firm on principles but flexible in methodology"
