Hopes rise that DR Congo's elections are in home stretch

Hopes rose on Wednesday that the Democratic Republic of Congo's election saga may have turned a corner after opposition leaders reached out to President Joseph Kabila. "It is a huge task that we can't finish in just a few hours," CENI President Corneille Nangaa told AFP, referring to logistical problems in the vast central African country. "The CENI plans to devote 24 to 48 hours to this task, after which time the CENI will schedule the announcement of the provisional results," he said.
