{UAH} DRC president Tshisekedi names coalition ally as Chief of Staff

According to several sources interviewed by AFP, Tshisekedi and Kabila have worked out an arrangement that gives the outgoing president considerable influence in the former's administration. Kabila would also also have some sort of veto power on appointments in strategic positions such as defence, finance, and Governor of the Central Bank.

Moreover, "the dismissal or rotation of commanders of major army and police units cannot take place without Kabila's advice", AFP quoted an unnamed source.

Martin Fayulu has denounced Tshisekedi's victory and apparent power-sharing deal with Kabila as an 'electoral coup'. He claims he won the race with 61% of the vote. His claims are backed by the church.
