The Alliance of the Presidential Majority (French: Alliance pour la majorité présidentielle, AMP) is a political alliance formed by supporters of President-elect Joseph Kabila following the 2006 general elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1] This bloc currently holds the majority of seats in the National Assembly with 332 out of 500 seats.
On 3 October 2018 the Unified Lumumbist Party and its parliamentary allies exited the coalition in anticipation of the 2018 general elections.[2]
