This follows an admission to the candidates by the electoral commission that they would be unable to organize the elections as scheduled on Sunday.

It’s for the government of President Joseph Kabila to announce any delay in elections that are already more than two years overdue.

Electoral Commission (CENI) head Corneille Nangaa told candidates this afternoon that it could not make good on its assurance to bounce back from the warehouse fire in the capital Kinshasa last week that destroyed two thirds of the voting material.

CENI spokesman Pierre Kalamba says a delay is most likely, although that is not the commission’s decision.
