Kwilu, Administrative province in western Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Kwilu is a province in western Democratic Republic of the Congo covering an area characterized by plateaus, savannas, and numerous rivers. This varied landscape shapes the region's geography and how communities are distributed across the territories.
The province was created in 2015 when the government divided the former Bandundu Province into three separate administrative units. This reorganization reshaped the political structure of the western region.
French serves as the official language in Kwilu province, while residents communicate daily in regional languages including Kikongo ya leta and Lingala.
The province includes two main cities, Bandundu and Kikwit, which serve as centers for services and commerce. The region is organized into several districts containing both urban and rural communities.
The provincial assembly of Kwilu maintains 29 seats for representatives and contains four separate senate positions for regional governance.
