Highest court in Congo is going to start listening to a complaint about the recent election for president.
Last week, Théodore Ngoy submitted a request to cancel the presidential election results because he only got 0. 02% of the votes.
He called the results fake.
The two main candidates who were against the government, Moïse Katumbi and Martin Fayulu, argued about the election results but chose not to take the issue to court.
The Constitutional Court will decide something before January 12th, when the electoral body will announce the final results.
If Mr Ngoy’s challenge is not successful, President Felix Tshisekedi will be sworn in for another term on 20 January. He won the election with 73% of the vote.
The December 20 election had a lot of problems with getting everything where it needed to go. It had to continue for an extra day in some big areas of the country.
On Sunday, the voting officials decided that 82 people running for political positions should not be allowed to run because they were involved in cheating and violent actions.
