Democratic Republic of Congo's election board has postponed a long-anticipated presidential vote scheduled for Sunday by one week until December 30 after a fire destroyed voting materials. "We cannot organise general elections without the province of Kinshasa, and without the Kinois voters - who represent 10 percent of the electoral body," CENI president Corneille Nangaa told journalists. Hundreds of university students took to the streets in Kinshasa on Thursday, protesting any delay to the vote. "The CENI president said there will be an election, rain or shine, on the 23rd of December," Fayulu said.
