Three leaders who are against the government in the Democratic Republic of Congo want everyone in the country to protest on Saturday. This is the same day that President Félix Tshisekedi will be taking an oath for his second term as president.
He got 73% of the votes in last month’s election and won, according to the electoral commission. However, many other candidates criticized the result and asked for the election to be done again because they did not think it was fair.
Moïse Katumbi, Martin Fayulu, and Anzuluni Bembe asked people to join a protest on Saturday during an online meeting.
They said that there was cheating and adding fake votes in the election.
However, the main opposition candidates chose not to challenge the result in court, and the Constitutional Court has confirmed that Mr. Tshisekedi is the winner.
