Congolese National Convention

The Congolese National Convention (French: Convention Nationale Congolaise), also known as CONACO, was a political alliance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It consisted of a bloc of forty-nine parties from among the more than 200 parties that were formed primarily for participation in the 1965 general elections. CONACO primarily drew its strength from the southern portions of the country and succeeded the Katanga-based CONAKAT party.[1] It won 122 out of 167 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
