REF: KINSHASA 66
1. (U) Bas-Congo provincial assembly members elected four
national Senators January 19, including Transitional
Government Vice President Abdoulaye Yerodia. Yerodia and two
others -- Jacques Mbadu (Independent),the current Governor
of Bas-Congo, and Gaston Nginayevuvu (Forces du Renouveau),a
Transitional Government deputy - belong to Kabila's AMP
coalition. The fourth new senator, Raphael Siluvangi (MLC),
