"Controversy Surrounds Tshisekedi's Re-election in DRC Polls"

Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi has been re-elected with over 73% of the vote amid opposition complaints and calls for protests against the election's credibility. The opposition, led by second-place candidate Moise Katumbi, has denounced the election as a sham and is not pursuing legal challenges due to skepticism about the independence of state institutions. The election commission CENI and the government have dismissed allegations of irregularities, despite concerns raised by independent observers and opposition candidates about the voting process and result tabulation.
