Losing Congo presidential candidate to challenge results to high court

Losing Democratic Republic of Congo presidential candidate Martin Fayulu said on Friday he would challenge the election results in country's highest court on Saturday at 9 a.m. (0800 GMT).

The national electoral commission on Thursday declared another opposition leader, Felix Tshisekedi, the winner of the Dec. 30 election, but Fayulu's campaign says its tallies show that Fayulu won a landslide victory. (Reporting By Stanis Bujakera; Writing by Aaron Ross; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
