DR Congo Delays Announcing Election Result

The DRC's election commission says that less than half the tally sheets had been received and that preliminary results would be postponed until next week.

The results of last week's presidential vote in the Democratic Republic of Congo will not be published on Sunday, officials say, despite growing calls for the outcome to be announced.
