President Félix Tshisekedi has been declared the winner of Democratic Republic of Congo's election, which has been condemned as a "sham" by several opposition candidates demanding a rerun. Tshisekedi won about 73% of the vote, with his nearest challenger, Moise Katumbi, on 18%. About two-thirds of polling stations opened late, while 30% of voting machines did not work on the first day of the vote, according to an observer group. Meanwhile opposition parties say the problems were part of a deliberate plan to allow the results to be rigged in favor of Mr Tshisekedi.
