DRC: Poll contenders urge calm

Congo's presidential contenders have called on their supporters to remain calm as the vast country awaits the results of a historic post-war election, but one candidate's camp cried foul. President Joseph Kabila and Vice President Jean-Pierre Bemba issued a joint statement late on Tuesday following their first meeting since an October 29 vote to pick the Democratic Republic of Congo's first freely elected leader in more than 40 years.
