DRC Election From different site:
Political rumblings in the DRC.
It has been well documented that Joseph Kabila, the country’s president, is trying to make changes to the constitution to allow him to run for a third term.
The Bureau d’tudes, de Recherches, et Consulting International (BERCI) and the Congo Research Group (CRG) at New York University ran an opinion poll, it found that an alarming 81.4% would not accept the change.
True, that the BERCI and CRG researchers interviewed 7,545 people in face to face interviews, and with an estimated 81.m population this has to be considered a very small sample size. But if the poll is representative of the general feeling if the nation then it may well spell trouble and that could mean trouble for the companies that have mining operations in the DRC. Kabila's term runs out 19 December.
