Days ahead critical to historic election process in DR Congo

United Nations, Jan 12 (UNI) With millions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) demonstrating “their commitment to the political process”, the days ahead are “critical” to what has been an “historic election process”, the top UN official in the country has told the Security Council.
Leila Zerrougui, Special Representative and head of the UN Stabilisation Mission (MONUSCO), on Fridau said that Congolese voters had shown “impressive maturity” and patience during the presidential poll, which finally took place on 30 December, two years later than originally planned.
“We must, therefore, show our collective solidarity with them, as the electoral process is finalized, and as the Democratic Republic of the Congo prepares to undertake the first peaceful transfer of power in the country’s history”, Ms Zerrougui said via video conference.
