In recent weeks, Tshisekedi signalled impending changes within his administration, prompting rumours about a possible dismissal of the Prime Minister. However, at a recent Union Sacrée (USN) coalition meeting, the President dispelled these reports, expressing full confidence in Suminwa's leadership.
Tshisekedi also announced plans for a new government capped at 50 members, emphasising inclusivity. He stated that the upcoming cabinet would extend opportunities to political opposition, civil society groups, and other stakeholders to foster national unity and tackle persistent issues facing the country.
On 25 July 2025, Tshisekedi convened a Cabinet meeting where he thanked outgoing ministers for their service and wished success to those continuing in the new administration.
The outgoing government, comprising 54 members, faced criticism for uneven regional representation and the exclusion of political parties with parliamentary seats from government posts.
