DR Congo court rejects appeal against disputed poll

Kinshasa (AFP) – A DR Congo court on Sunday rejected an appeal over the outcome of the disputed presidential election, ruling the challenge “unfounded”.

Judge Noel Kilomba said runner-up Martin Fayulu, who launched the court action, had failed to prove that the results announced by the election commission were false.

Opposition leader Felix Tshisekedi was declared the provisional winner of last month’s election, in an outcome challenged both at home and abroad.
