DR Congo lawmakers on Wednesday approved a motion to force out Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba, handing President Felix Tshisekedi a key victory in his bid to sideline allies of his predecessor. The National Assembly approved a motion of censure against Ilunga Ilunkamba and his government by 367 votes to seven, which under the constitution requires the prime minister to step down within 24 hours. Tshisekedi has been engaged in a months-long power struggle with loyalists to former president Joseph Kabila, accusing them of holding up key reforms. st-bmb/ri/har
