François-Joseph Nzanga Mobutu was fired in March 2011. Bernard Biondo, Minister of External Trade and a member of Mobutu's UDEMO party, resigned in solidarity. Minister of Rural Development Philippe Undji was fired and jailed for embezzlement. In September 2011, the Decentralization Minister Antipas Mbusa Nyamwisi resigned to run for president. A minor cabinet reshuffle was announced on 11 September 2011. The Ministry of Decentralization was abolished.
