KINSHASA (Reuters) - Congolese presidential candidate Martin Fayulu has a blunt message for voters: The 2018 election was stolen from him and he is back to fight for the top job he believes is rightfully his.
Fayulu, 67, a former oil executive and leader of the Engagement for Citizenship and Development party, came second to President Felix Tshisekedi in 2018. But Fayulu claims he won with over 62% of the vote and challenged the results in court.
