Kasaï-Central is one of the 21 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Kasaï-Central and Kasaï provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Kasaï-Occidental province.[2] Kasaï-Central was formed from the Lulua district and the independently administered city of Kananga which retained its status as a provincial capital. The 2020 population was estimated to be 4,045,300.[3]
The new province's territory corresponds to the historic Luluabourg Province which existed in the early period after independence between 1963 and 1966.
Within this province, there are 5 territories which are named:
- Demba 4. Kazumba
- Dibaya 5. Luiza
- Dimbelenge
