Congo Court declares Felix Tshisekedi is elected President
Congo's Constitutional Court has declared the election of Felix Tshisekedi as the President and has rejected the challenges to the vote by runner-up Martin Fayulu.
The declaration came early this morning after the African Union asked Congo to delay announcing the final election results.
The Union cited serious doubts about the election.
It planned to send a high-level delegation on Monday to find a way out of the crisis.
However, the court turned away Fayulu's request for a recount in the Dec. 30 vote over charges of fraud.
