DRC: Bemba rejects results

Congo Kinshasa (DRC) seems poised to fall victim to a new round of election violence as Vice President, Jean-Pierre Bemba, outrightly has rejected the published results which place his contender, President Joseph Kabila in a winning position in the ongoing count of the presidential elections. A group of politicians backing Mr Bemba's presidential bid declared Tuesday (14 November 2006) that their candidate was leading the bitterly contested second-round polls.
