WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Forum of Congolese Intellectuals Abroad (FICE) will officially release its election observation report following an on-site mission conducted from December 19^th to December 22nd, 2023.

This event, scheduled for Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 2:00 PM at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., will feature representatives from CENI and firsthand observers present in the DRC during the elections. The press conference aims to provide valuable insights into the election proceedings and address queries from the press.

During the on-site mission, the FICE team conducted interviews with numerous voters, engaged with other local and international observers, and had access to the polling stations in the visited centers. The team affirms that the voting operations adhered to CENI's procedural rules and international standards.

The upcoming press conference will not only unveil the detailed election observation mission report but also offer a platform for an open dialogue between the press, CENI representatives, and many eyewitnesses to the election.
