Seems like Kabila intends to play by the rules, which suggests the election, or election delay, or term limit rules change, unlikely to be outside the rule of law.

"Though Kabila has not declared his intentions, there are signs that he may be preparing to delay the elections in order to stay in power. DRC’s highest court ruled in May that Kabila could stay in power if elections were delayed—a strong possibility as many of DRC’s 80 million people are not registered to vote—and a close ally of the president recently stated that a referendum on presidential term limits could be possible if the population demanded it. If presidential term limits were abolished, Kabila would be free to run for re-election, as President Denis Sassou Nguesso did successfully in neighboring Republic of Congo following a referendum in 2015."
