Congo to postpone Sunday’s presidential vote

Congo to postpone Sunday’s presidential vote

Democratic Republic of Congo’s election board has told participants in Sunday’s presidential vote that it cannot organize the ballot on time. Electoral commission, CENI, summoned candidates to a meeting in parliament today after media reports of a delay due to problems with vote materials.

 

One of the candidates, Theodore Ngoy, who was at the meeting, said in a statement that CENI president Corneille Nangaa announced the commission was “technically unable” to carry through the election as planned on Sunday.

 

The election is meant to choose a successor to President Joseph Kabila, who is due to step down after eighteen years in power, in what would be Congo’s first democratic transition. There was no word on a new timetable.

 

Preparations for Sunday’s vote, already postponed repeatedly since 2016, were disrupted by a fire last week which the commission said destroyed 80 percent of Kinshasa’s voting machines.
