The opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo called for mobilization against the results of the presidential elections, in which President Felix Tshisekedi was re-elected on Sunday, according to the country's election commission.

Opposition candidates and civil society groups demanded a rerun due to significant logistical issues, casting doubt on the validity of the outcome. 

Tshisekedi was re-elected with an impressive majority, winning more than 70% of the total votes cast. He was followed by businessman Moise Katumbi, with 18%, Martin Fayulu, with 5%, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege, who got less than 1%. 

Katumbi rejected the results before Sunday's announcement, calling on the population to mobilize. 

For his part, Tshisekedi welcomed a new five-year term by addressing his supporters at headquarters.

With 18 million voters and a 40% turnout, the results are now headed to the constitutional court for confirmation, according to election chief Denis Kadima.
