KINSHASA, Congo — Congo’s supreme court on Friday upheld President Joseph Kabila’s victory after a contested election, raising fears of more violence in sub-Saharan Africa’s largest nation because the main opposition candidate already has rejected the results showing he placed second.
The November election was only the second democratic vote in Congo’s 51-year history and the first to be organized by the Congolese government rather than by the international community.
Observers have expressed concern about irregularities, saying voter turnout results were impossibly high in some districts.
