DR Congo's government to ban protests against election 'irregularities'
Democratic Republic of Congo's government on Tuesday is to ban an opposition protest planned for Wednesday over last week's chaotic national election as early results showed President Felix Tshisekedi in the lead.
Five opposition presidential candidates called the joint demonstration in the capital Kinshasa over alleged election irregularities.
But on Tuesday the government said it would ban the event, saying it did not have a legal basis and aimed at undermining the electoral process while the CENI election commission was still compiling results.
"No government in the world can accept this, so we will not let it happen," Vice Prime Minister Peter Kazadi told a press conference
