Provisional results for the DRC’s 26 provinces will be released in the coming days. Didi Manara, from the Ceni, said that “at least 97 percent” of the roughly 75,000 polling stations in the DRC had been able to open. In 24 polling stations, its observers identified technical problems with electronic voting devices, the US-based group added. Ceni is set to start announcing provisional results for the DRC’s 26 provinces on Saturday. Tshisekedi, 60, is considered the front-runner in the first-past-the-vote presidential vote, especially given that he is facing a divided opposition.
