Voters in the Democratic Republic of Congo cast their ballots on Sunday in an election vital to the future of the central African country.
The election, which comes after repeated delays, will produce a successor to President Joseph Kabila and is deemed decisive for a peaceful transfer of power.
However, there is concern over the credibility of the election following some organizational problems and a government decision to exclude some 1 million voters due to a deadly Ebola virus outbreak in the east.
