Congo rejects AU's call to delay final election results
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) has
rejected an African Union demand to delay the announcement of final election
results, the BBC reported Friday.
The AU says there are "serious doubts"
about the outcome of elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo and has
called for the final results to be suspended.
Those figures gave victory to one opposition
candidate, Felix Tshisekedi, but another opponent of the current administration
insists he won.
Supporters of Martin Fayulu say Tshisekedi made a
power-sharing deal with outgoing President Joseph Kabila.
Tshisekedi's team denies this.
The Constitutional Court is expected to rule within
the next few days on a legal challenge to the result.
On Friday the country's government rejected the AU's
call to postpone the announcement.
