Opposition calls for mass protests in Democratic Republic of Congo

The opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo has called for mass demonstrations next month to demand over electoral issues.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (Ceni) is accused of trying to delay the 2023 elections.

The opposition also accused President Felix Tshisekedi of blocking the electoral process while the heads of religious denominations are struggling to find a consensus on the name of the personality who should lead Ceni.
