For Katanga 78% of the votes were obtained, for Kasai Occidentale 81% of the votes were obtained. For the other provinces (except Kinshasa) 53% of the registration-time was expired. The results are not much under this percentage: Bandundu 48%, Equateur 48%, Kasai Orientale 64%, Prov orientale 44%, N)Kivu: 45%, S-Kivu:50%<br />It seems to me that the registrationprocess will succeed. More : there will be 20% more voters registred then in 2006.

Now only God knows how those registered will cast their ballots let alone how some would want to present that...Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301460106025447019noreply@blogger.com
