André Bo-Boliko Lokonga Monse Mihambo (born August 15, 1934 – died March 30, 2018) was an important politician from the country now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He held a very high position, serving as the First State Commissioner of Zaire. This role was similar to being a prime minister. He served from March 6, 1979, to August 27, 1980.
Before becoming First State Commissioner, Bo-Boliko Lokonga was a key leader for workers. From 1967 to 1980, he was the secretary-general of the National Union of Zairian Workers. This means he was in charge of a large group that represented workers' rights and interests in Zaire.
After his time as First State Commissioner, he continued to be involved in politics. In 1990, he helped start a new political group called the Democratic Social Christian Party alongside Joseph Iléo. This party aimed to bring new ideas and changes to the country's government.
