about forty four million Congolese registered to participate inside the election, which also consists of local ballots.
As vote casting day neared, the electoral commission sought more helicopters, raising issues approximately its potential to open polling stations in regions in any other case unreachable due to terrible roads or a loss of security.
The observer assignment of Congo’s powerful Catholic Church called CENCO, on Wednesday warned such an extension would undermine the integrity of the effects.
“it’s far crucial for the election to take region in at some point to keep away from fraud,” said CENCO Secretary-trendy Donatien Nshole before the fee introduced the extension.
complete provisional effects were anticipated by way of Dec. 31, however it is not clean how the brand new trends will affect the schedule. some vote-counting had started out at polling stations where balloting was finished, Reuters newshounds said.
The presidential election is decided in a unmarried spherical, requiring a simple majority of the vote to win.
In Beni, some citizens were undeterred with the aid of the delays. “despite night time falling, i will wait,” stated 28-year-vintage homemaker Rebecca Tommy, status in line almost hours after polls were meant to close.
