KINSHASA, Jan 20 — Congo opposition candidate Martin Fayulu rejected a court ruling today that his rival won a presidential election, declaring himself president in a move that could stoke further unrest.
“The constitutional court has just confirmed that it serves a dictatorial regime ... by validating false results, (and enabling) a constitutional coup d’etat,” he said in a statement.
The court confirmed Felix Tshisekedi’s presidential election win today, throwing out two challenges against it. — Reuters
