All six candidates who were barred from running in DR Congo's presidential elections later this year have lodged appeals at the Constitutional Court, two of them told AFP on Tuesday.
The decision to ban six of the 25 candidates who registered to run for the presidency in December's vote was announced by the electoral commission late on Friday, which gave them until Tuesday to file an appeal.
