Analyst: DRC's Tshisekedi Likely To Be Re-Elected in December 20 Elections

As the Democratic Republic of Congo prepares to hold elections on December 20, one analyst says incumbent President Felix Tshisekedi is poised be re-elected. The 23 other candidates vying for the presidency include Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege and the runner-up in the 2018 presidential election, Martin Fayulu. John Mukum Mbaku, an economics professor at Weber State University and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution tells VOA's Yeheyes Wuhib the fragmentation of opposition candidates favors the incumbent.
