Goma, Congo (CNN)The Congo’s Catholic Church has rejected the results of the Central African nation’s presidential election, saying they don’t match the data collected by its observers.
There was widespread surprise Thursday after the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s electoral commission announced that opposition leader Felix Tshisekedi had won the presidency.
Another opposition leader, Martin Faluyu, who was widely expected to be victorious, categorically rejected the outcome and called for the winner to be “the person who really was our people’s choice.”
