2024 Democratic Republic of the Congo Senate elections

Senate elections took 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 took place in four parts. The election of the 84 senators representing Kinshasa and 19 provinces were held 29 April at the same time as the gubernatorial elections. This was 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 from Kwilu and Nord-Ubangi was held on April 2, 2025, alongside governor elections.

These elections followed 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.
