The Democratic Republic of Congo’s electoral commission has listed 24 provisional candidates for the December presidential election, including incumbent president Félix Tshisekedi. Other notable candidates include Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr Denis Mukwege, businessman Moïse Katumbi, and former prime ministers Adolphe Muzito and Augustin Matata Ponyo, who is facing prosecution for alleged misappropriation of public funds. The opposition parties are hoping to agree on a common candidate to increase their chances of winning. The election will also include legislative, provincial, and communal elections, and concerns about fraud and the organization of the vote remain.
