The United Congolese Party (UCP; Parti des Congolais Unis - PCU) is a centre-right political party-in-exile representing domestic and diaspora interests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The party was established in 2012 by Congolese businessman Christian Malanga to serve as a platform for independent opposition candidates in the DRC. Malanga subsequently styled himself as the "President of New Zaire" and was killed in a coup attempt in Kinshasa on 19 May 2024.
