KINSHASA (Reuters) - The Democratic Republic of Congo voted on Thursday on the second day of a chaotic and in parts violent general election after authorities extended opening hours for polling stations that failed to open the previous day.
The elections across Africa's second-largest country were disrupted on Wednesday by delays in delivering election kits in several places and malfunctioning equipment. People also struggled to find their names on registers, while violence caused chaos in other places.
