Provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article 2 of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo divides the country into the capital city of Kinshasa and 25 named provinces. It also gives the capital the status of a province.[1] Therefore, in many contexts Kinshasa is regarded as the 26th province.
