The former head of the presidential party in the #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo, who recently switched to the opposition, was arrested Tuesday in Kinshasa and transferred to prison in connection with proceedings for contempt of the head of state, a judicial source said.

MP and former vice-president of the National Assembly #JeanMarcKabund has been placed under provisional arrest warrant" in Makala prison in the capital, after an interrogation, a magistrate of the prosecutor's office near the Court of Cassation told AFP.

Elected in Kinshasa, Jean-Marc Kabund joined the opposition in July after being expelled from the presidential party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), and resigning from his position as first vice president of the Congolese National Assembly.

At the time of the announcement of the creation of his own political party, "Alliance for Change", Mr. Kabund had castigated the "lack of clear vision", "notorious incompetence and institutionalized mismanagement characterized by carelessness, irresponsibility, enjoyment and predation at the top of the state" by the camp of #PresidentFelixTshisekedi.
