DR Congo parliament backs Kabila vote reform, Reuters (2011)

This article reports on the controversial electoral reform recently passed by the parliament in the Democratic Republic of Congo. President Kabila presented an electoral reform, introducing eight changes to the constitution, like, for example, the elimination of the second round of the presidential election. The opposition parties boycotted the sitting, arguing that this reform will overwhelmingly favor President Kabila in his re-election plans. Among other things, the reform also postpones plans to increase the number of provinces in the country to 26 from 11.
