A candidate in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s recent presidential elections has legally challenged the victory of incumbent President Félix Tshisekedi.
Théodore Ngoy, who came last with 0.02% of the vote, is the only presidential candidate who submitted a petition for the annulment of the results.
He filed the petition yesterday at the Constitutional Court hours before the lapse of the two-day window allowed for petitions.
Mr Ngoy, a lawyer and pastor, was also unsuccessful in DR Congo’s 2018 presidential elections.
He told France’s RFI news website that he wanted the “sham” election results announced by the country’s electoral commission, Ceni, to be annulled. END.
