In Democratic Republic of Congo, electoral commission has delayed the announcement of preliminary results of a crucial presidential election amid growing pressure from world powers to respect voters wishes.
The head of the country’s electoral commission Corneille Nangaa said that preliminary results, scheduled for release Sunday, will now come out only next week.
Meanwhile, United States had deployed troops to the region for possible violent demonstrations while the country’s powerful Catholic church warned of a popular uprising if untrue results are announced.
The US has already threatened sanctions against those who undermine the democratic process
