Leading opposition candidates in DR Congo's presidential election complained that voters faced "chaos" and "irregularities" as they tried to cast their ballots in Wednesday's general elections.

"It's total chaos, there's no organisation," said Martin Fayulu, an opposition candidate and former oil executive, after voting in the centre of the capital, Kinshasa.
