Drc Elections News Today

Nearly five months after the general election in DRC, there is still no new government in Kinshasa.

Lukonde was appointed premier of DRC in February 2021.

The DRC president-elect took oath for the second term and told Congolese ‘I’m aware of your expectations’.

DR Congos Constitutional Court on Tuesday approved Felix Tshisekedis election for a second term, saying he won 73.47 percent of votes in the long turbulent country.

Tshisekedi got 73.47 percent of vote during a December 20 election, the court said.

A United Nations top human rights official voiced alarm on Sunday about rising ethnic tension and calls to violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo following disputed elections.

The question becomes why an election that was anticipated for years turned so chaotic.

Crisis looms as opposition leaders dismiss the election as a "sham".

Electoral commission says former provincial governor Moise Katumbi came second with around 18 percent of the vote.

Biggest headache for President Tshisekedi's administration will be how to foster post-election calm.
