Christian Malanga Musumari (2 January 1983 – 19 May 2024), was a Congolese-American^[1] politician, businessman, and military officer. He was leader of the United Congolese Party (UCP), a national political party he formed after his experiences in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's widely disputed parliamentary elections in 2011.

The attempt failed with Malanga being shot dead and his son Marcel being arrested.^[2]
