Breaking: DRC Catholic Church Say Elections Were Flawed

The Catholic Church in DR Congo has just announced that the results given by the electoral commission are not accurate. In a public statement, the church says that the figures published by the electoral body do not match the results collected by their observers. Felix Tshisekedi was declared as the president elect narrowly beating Martin Fayulu, who many thought had won election.

The Catholic Church is a powerful and respected body in the Central African nation and this announcement means that the drama is just about to start.
