| Description | KINSHASA (Reuters) - In Kinshasa's lush Botanical Garden, the scene was set to celebrate the election of the man Joseph Kabila had chosen to replace him as president of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary's face beamed from yellow and blue banners, some emblazoned with the words "Shadary President." Soda bottles were piled up in a corner as Kabila's ruling coalition tallied results of that day's election at a nearby hotel.
Within hours of polls closing on Dec. 30, the planned festivities at the gardens were abruptly called off. |
