Kabila declared Congo election winner
Incumbent President Joseph Kabila was declared the winner of Congo’s tense decider election, defeating his ex-rebel leader rival in the war-torn country’s first multi-party contest in more than 40 years.
Kabila won with about 58% of the vote, compared with nearly 42% for Vice President Jean-Pierre Bemba, said Apollinaire Malu Malu, chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission.
