Still on elections in the DRC, presidential candidate for the LAMUKA coalition Martin Fayulu has complained of widespread irregularities after a chaotic vote disrupted by long queues, broken voting machines and torrential rain.
Speaking in Kinshasa, Mr. Fayulu listed malfunctioning voting machines, the late display of electoral lists and the expulsion of LAMUKA witnesses at polling stations, which he said will have serious consequences.
At a polling station in South Kivu province in eastern Congo, a police officer shot dead a young man after a dispute over alleged voting fraud. The surrounding crowd then beat the officer to death, a witness and a local politician said.
An election official was also killed in the altercation, the electoral commission (CENI) said later.
