The Congolese National Movement–Lumumba (French: Mouvement National Congolais–Lumumba) is a political party in Democratic Republic of the Congo, founded in 1958 when the country was the Belgian Congo. Since the actual electoral strength of political parties in Congo is not known, the size of the party cannot be determined. The party was extremely prominent in the 1960s when it was led by Congo's first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, who was subsequently deposed and killed by the Belgians and Katangese secessionists. Since 1992, Patrice Lumumba's eldest son François Lumumba has been the leader of the party.
