KINSHASA, Congo — The party behind the declared winner of Congo’s presidential election on Saturday rejected the African Union’s surprise request to delay announcing the final results amid “serious doubts” about the vote. The AU has said it will send a high-level delegation to Congo on Monday to help resolve the electoral crisis. Congo’s Constitutional Court is poised to rule on a challenge to the election results by the declared runner-up, who alleges fraud. The court could uphold the election results, order a recount or order a new election. We are heading to the Constitutional Court and the Rwandan Embassy to denounce what the African Union is plotting,” said Papy Losala.
