Democratic Republic of Congo opposition leader Martin Fayulu is calling on his followers to begin a campaign of civil disobedience, after leaked data shows Mr Fayulu won the democratic vote by 60%.

Mr Fayulu says he is the sole legitimate president elect of the DRC and the country’s high court decision not to appeal the official election results is the product of a secret deal with the outgoing president.

Mr Fayulu’s calls threaten to further destabilise the country which has already seen 34 people killed and 59 wounded in civil unrest this week.
