Democratic Republic of the Congo Senate election, 2007

Elections to the Senate of the Democratic Republic of the Congo were held on 2007-01-19, though they had originally been scheduled for 2007-01-16. The members of the Senate were chosen through indirect election by the members of the provincial assemblies; the delay was a result of the difficulties in choosing traditional chiefs to fill the places reserved for them in the provincial assemblies.

Bemba, who had placed second in the 2006 presidential election, won a Senate seat from the capital, Kinshasa.
