The DR Congo officials on Saturday delayed the announcement of preliminary results from a crucial presidential election, amid growing pressure from world powers and the influential Catholic church to respect voters' wishes.
Preliminary results, scheduled for release Sunday, will now come out only next week, the head of the country's electoral commission CENI told AFP just hours before the deadline.
