The Transitional Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo was tasked with moving from the state riven by the Second Congo War (1998–2003) to a government based upon a constitution agreed on by consensus. It was established by the Global and All-Inclusive (AGI) agreement signed in December 2002. Joseph Kabila was sworn in as transitional president on 7 April 2003; the cabinet took office on 30 June 2003, inaugurating the transitional government; and four vice presidents were sworn in on 17 July 2003. The Transitional Government remained in place until after the new constitution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was promulgated in February 2006 and a general election was held in December 2006. The transition ended when the new cabinet was installed on 5 February 2007.
