DR Congo's Constitutional Court Confirms Tshisekedi's Re-election Amid Controversy

Opposition leaders, alleging fraud and logistical mishaps, call for a re-run of the election.

Democratic Republic of Congo's Constitutional Court has confirmed Felix Tshisekedi's re-election as president, with him winning 73.47% of the vote.
The court rejected two legal challenges to the election results, including a petition by opposition candidate Theodore Ngoy to annul the vote.
Opposition leaders, including Moise Katumbi who came second with 18.08% of the vote, have called the election a 'sham' and demanded a re-run.
The election was marred by logistical issues, including late opening of polling stations, lack of materials, and illegible voter cards.
Despite the controversy, Tshisekedi is set to be sworn in at the end of January for another five-year term.
