Description
On behalf of the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum’s DRC Affinity Group, please find the English translation of their latest on the ongoing electoral process in the DRC entitled, “Elections in the DRC (Completing the 2011-2016 Cycle): Status and Perspectives.” This paper was originally written in French and released earlier in August 2014 with research support from Nick Elebe, DRC Country Manager for OSISA. It analyses the various issues and dilemmas that the Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante (CENI) and the Congolese state must confront in the lead up to local, provincial, and presidential elections set to be scheduled during the next two years.
