Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Congolese National Convention (French: Convention Nationale Congolaise), also known as CONACO, was a federalist political alliance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was formed and led by then Prime Minister, Moïse Tshombe.

It consisted of a bloc of forty-nine parties from among the more than 200 parties that were formed primarily for participation in the

1965 general elections. CONACO primarily drew its strength from the southern portions of the country and succeeded the Katanga-based CONAKAT party.[1]
