KINSHASA, Congo ? The spokesman for Congo's election commission said that the body is working to release results of last week's election before midnight Tuesday as required by law, but a delay may be inevitable if tally sheets are not compiled in time.
Matthieu Mpita told The Associated Press by telephone that helicopters had been dispatched to the remote corners of the country to pick up compilation sheets. He said the numbers have not been transmitted to the central compilation center in Kinshasa due to a technical glitch with the communications equipment.
Mpita said: "It's our objective to release the results before midnight tonight," but it depends on whether the body gets a full count.
Meanwhile, journalists attempting to approach the home of opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi heard gunfire. The opposition has already said they reject the results.
