DRC Electoral Body President Says Results Due December 31, as Planned
The head of Democratic Republic of Congo's election commission on Friday said the commission would meet a December 31 deadline for the release of full provisional election results, dismissing opposition calls for a re-run of the disputed vote as the response of "bad losers." The CENI commission has come under fire for its handling of the delay-plagued December 20 election and the subsequent vote-count, which the opposition and independent observers say have compromised the credibility of results. Despite the unscheduled extension, CENI president Denis Kadima told Reuters the commission was on track for releasing full provisional results from the presidential vote on Sunday as originally planned.
