"DR Congo Disqualifies Seven Officials Amid Election Fraud and Violence"

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, three ministers and four governors have been disqualified from recent elections due to fraud and violence, among a total of 82 candidates excluded by the electoral commission. Despite these issues and the opposition denouncing the elections as a "sham," President Félix Tshisekedi was re-elected with a significant majority. The opposition lacks faith in the judicial system and is calling for protests, while the presidential election results are pending confirmation by the Constitutional Court. The elections were plagued by logistical problems, with many voters unable to cast their ballots.
