Originally Published 2 years ago — by Al Jazeera English
Felix Tshisekedi has been re-elected as the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo with over 70% of the vote, amidst claims from the opposition that the election was a 'farce' due to massive logistical issues. The opposition, led by businessman Moise Katumbi, has rejected the results and called for public mobilization. The election saw a 40% turnout, and the final results are pending confirmation by the constitutional court. The opposition has two days to file claims against the results, with the court having seven days to decide. The inauguration of the president is scheduled for the end of January.
