Lengthy delays at the polls led voting in Democratic Republic of the Congo’s presidential election to be extended on Wednesday as the country faced steep logistical and security challenges that raised questions about credibility.

It was not clear whether balloting would extend into Thursday after the election commission said it would continue “to allow every voter until the last”.
