Today is the last day of the electoral campaign. On Monday, Congolese will go to the poll to elect their new president and MPs. Goma has been very animated as all parties have been out in the street campaigning (i.e. partying). The roads were packed this morning, as I was going to get the accreditations for the Uhaki News journalists (We still don’t have them, our file was lost in the mess that the CENI office in Goma is, hopefully we’ll get them today).
For more details about the elections and what to expect, I wrote this article yesterday.
