The United States congratulates F\u00e9lix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo on his re-election to a second term as President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).\u00a0We also congratulate the Congolese people for their commitment to making their voices heard throughout the electoral process.\u00a0Now the important task of building national cohesion calls for leadership, accountability, and inclusivity at all levels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Regrettably, as noted by domestic and international observation missions, insecurity, logistical issues, and preparatory shortcomings created significant delays and barriers to voting on election day.\u00a0 For many, incidents of fraud and corruption raised doubts about the integrity of the results.\u00a0 We encourage the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) to ensure greater transparency regarding the tabulation of remaining results.\u00a0The United States also strongly urges Congolese authorities to launch a comprehensive review of the electoral process, investigate and hold accountable those who attempted to undermine the will of the people, and, in consultation with stakeholders, act on recommendations to improve future elections.<\/p>\n

The United States looks forward to expanding its partnership with the DRC government and working with Congolese people across the nation to advance our mutual interests.<\/p>\n
