Julien Paluku Kahongya (born 13 December 1968) is a Congolese politician. He served as the governor of the province of North Kivu from 27 January 2007 to 22 February 2019. On June 21, 2023, he founded the political grouping Alliance bloc 50 (A/B50). Named after the Boeing B-50 Superfortress, the A/B50 wants to "bomb" poverty, corruption, bad governance, and everything that hinders the development of the DRC. The group also advocates for a strong, prosperous, and united Congo, as well as the implementation of decentralization, which it believes heralds development from the ground up. At its founding, the group included eight parties.
