The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
– ‘Kabila’s stooge’ –
Several Western governments have expressed concern about the results, with the United States calling for “clarification”.
The European Union on Thursday said it was waiting for “the reactions of different observation missions that have observed the elections.”
On Sunday, Fayulu attended a Protestant church and told his supporters that “the people have decided and the will of the people will be realised”.
Parishioners greeted his words with an amen.
He has said that if Tshisekedi becomes president “he will be Mr. Kabila’s stooge who will continue to pull the strings”.
Analysts have said it was likely Kabila struck a deal with Tshisekedi to be declared the election winner.
Kabila has been in office for 18 years, taking over the presidency from his father after he was assassinated.
A long-running political crisis erupted two years ago when Kabila refused to step down at the end of his constitutional term in office, sparking massive protests which were brutally repressed.
