Tshisekedi has scrapped the ruling coalition, saying a new one will help him push through his agenda.
He is seeking to flip the majority in the legislative body in his favour
The president has threatened to dissolve parliament, hold new elections and has acted to remove a Kabila ally as speaker of House
So what's the fallout from this power struggle in this African country?
