‘Electoral Coup’ Charged In Congo Election

Felix Tshisekedi has won DR Congo’s presidential election, the BBC reports.

“The announcement, made overnight, sparked accusations of an ‘electoral coup’ from runner-up Martin Fayulu.”

“If confirmed, Mr Tshisekedi will be the first opposition challenger to win since the DR Congo gained independence in 1960. Current President Joseph Kabila is stepping down after 18 years in office.”
