The opposition has rejected the results after chaos at the ballot box and official results contradicted the pre-poll surveys, Félix Tshisekedi appears almost certain to be confirmed for a second term as President despite opposition protests about the conducting of the polls, which saw Tshisekedi obtain 73% of the vote, according to the Commission Électorale Nationale Indépendante, ahead of business mogul-turned-politician Moïse Katumbi with 18% and Martin Fayulu with 5%, on a turnout of more than 40%. However, those numbers are widely at odds with independent opinion surveys suggesting that Tshisekedi would take 49.3% of the vote and Katumbi 28.1%.
