He was a president of the Association des Lulua-Frères, a Lulua ethnic syndicate, and a leading member of the Union National Congolaise. Though initially allied with nationalist Patrice Lumumba, he later denounced him and aligned himself with more moderate politicians. Following the division of Kasai Province in late 1962, Mukenge became Minister of Health and Minister of Social Affairs of the new Luluabourg Province. He later served as Governor of Kivu Province and on the Political Bureau of the Mouvement Populaire de la Révolution. He withdrew from politics in 1974 and died in 2018.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"3 August 1925","date":"1925-08-03"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937#P569"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"4 July 2018","date":"2018-07-04"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Kananga","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q205327"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Democratic Republic of the Congo","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q974"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937#P106"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"president (1962–1962)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30461","start":"1962-07","end":"1962-09"},{"text":"president (1960–1962)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30461","start":"1960-06","end":"1962-01"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barth%C3%A9lemy_Mukenge","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Barthélemy Mukenge born?","a":"Barthélemy Mukenge was born on 3 August 1925."},{"q":"What positions has Barthélemy Mukenge held?","a":"Positions held by Barthélemy Mukenge include: president (1962–1962); president (1960–1962)."}],"related":[{"name":"Hosni Mubarak","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hosni-mubarak"},{"name":"Gamal Abdel Nasser","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/gamal-abdel-nasser"},{"name":"Mohamed Morsi","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mohamed-morsi"},{"name":"Mohamed Naguib","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mohamed-naguib"},{"name":"Abdul Rahman Arif","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/abdul-rahman-arif"},{"name":"Muhammad Najib ar-Ruba'i","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/muhammad-najib-ar-ruba-i"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/barthelemy-mukenge-33bcb6924e.jpg","width":115,"height":402,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown author Unknown author","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Barth%C3%A9lemy_Mukenge,_gouverneur_de_la_province_du_Kasa%C3%AF,_en_1960_(cropped).jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Barthélemy Mukenge","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barth%C3%A9lemy_Mukenge","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q56262937","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56262937","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Barthélemy Mukenge, gouverneur de la province du Kasaï, en 1960 (cropped).jpg by Unknown author Unknown author (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Barth%C3%A9lemy_Mukenge,_gouverneur_de_la_province_du_Kasa%C3%AF,_en_1960_(cropped).jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Barthélemy Mukenge, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
