Congo election runner-up to press fraud dispute in court

The vote was intended as Congo's first democratic transfer of power in six decades, but instead threatens to reawaken violence in the huge and tumultuous nation where millions have died during civil wars since the 1990s. "When you know you are in the right, you are not allowed to remain home," Martin Fayulu said, urging supporters to "rise up" and contest the results with him. The influential Catholic Church has also rejected the official result based on tallies by its bishops conference's (CENCO) 40,000-strong observer mission.
