SUBJECT: DRC ELECTIONS: CIAT DISMAYED BY POLITICIZATION OF 
VOTE COUNT 
 
REF: A. KINSHASA 1231 
 
     B. KINSHASA 1223 
 
1. (U) The International Committee to Accompany the 
Transition (CIAT) issued a declaration August 3 expressing 
its "dismay" over the "flagrant politicization" of the vote 
counting process after the DRC's July 30 presidential and 
legislative elections. The CIAT statement comes after a 
similar communique was released August 1 (ref b) that 
condemned the "abusive exploitation" of misleadingly 
announcing partial vote counts. 
 
2. (U) The CIAT met for the third time in four days on August 
3 to discuss the conduct of some of the presidential 
candidates in the post-election period. As reported reftel, 
Vice President Jean-Pierre Bemba's privately-owned television 
and radio stations have been broadcasting selected, partial 
results purporting to show that Bemba won the July 30 
presidential contest. Television channels associated with 
President Joseph Kabila have also been announcing voting 
results from eastern DRC showing Kabila winning by wide 
margins in that part of the country. Meanwhile, Vice 
President Azarias Ruberwa continues to allege the July 30 
vote was marred by fraud, and delivered a new statement to 
the Independent Electoral Commission outlining a host of 
"irregularities" witnessed during the vote. 
 
3. (U) The CIAT declaration notes as well that various media 
outlets have contributed to the politicization of the 
post-election environment by "bombarding" the Congolese with 
incomplete -- and sometimes inaccurate -- voting results. It 
notes that no one but the Independent Electoral Commission 
(CEI) has the authority to release preliminary voting 
results, and that the Commission will do so no later than 
August 20 for the presidential race. 
 
4. (SBU) Immediately after approving the declaration, all 16 
members of the CIAT met with Vice President Bemba the evening 
of August 3 and later than night with Vice President Ruberwa. 
CIAT chiefs of mission will meet with Vice President Z'ahidi 
Ngoma August 4, and have a pending request to meet with 
President Kabila. CIAT will also meet on August 4 with the 
High Media Authority and with editors-in-chief of local media. 
 
5. (U) Post's unofficial translation of the CIAT declaration 
from the original French follows: 
 
DECLARATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE TO ACCOMPANY THE 
TRANSITION (CIAT) 
 
Barely four days after the historic voting of July 30, the 
CIAT is dismayed to see a flagrant politicization of the 
counting process on the part of Congolese politicians, a 
process that has only technical and logistical attributes. 
The media are facilitating and amplifying this phenomenon by 
bombarding the public with random figures. The politicization 
and subsequent war of figures instills the population with 
tension, threatens public order, and the security of citizens 
and their property. 
 
As such the CIAT reiterates the following: 
-- The Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) is still in the 
process of gathering and counting the results of the 
elections. It has declared that it will publish provisional 
results for the first round of presidential elections by 
August 20 at the latest; 
-- As such, no one, absolutely no one, has complete or 
reliable results from the first round of results at this 
stage. Those results offered by the media represent, at best, 
only partial indications that may vary significantly in their 
character according to their origins; 
-- The CEI alone is permitted to publish preliminary results. 
No one else may do so, under penalty of law; 
-- The Supreme Court is the only institution permitted to 
validate the CEI's preliminary results; 
-- The dissemination of slanted figures and false predictions 
gives rise to confusion and not fact. The CIAT reminds the 
media that they carry a heavy responsibility with regard to 
the people, to the law and to history. Any measure used to 
incite hatred or violence is punishable by law; and 
-- The CIAT calls on the CEI to regularly inform the public 
on the progress of the collection and counting procedures 
including any difficulties that they might encounter. 
 
On July 30, the Congolese people showed the entire world its 
 
KINSHASA 00001238  002 OF 002 
 
 
maturity and civility by going to the polls in peace and 
calm. The CIAT demands the same patience and calm from 
Congolese politicians during the waiting period before the 
CEI announces preliminary results of the presidential 
elections. In view of the higher interests of the nation as a 
whole, it invites them to accept the results of the ballot 
boxes and to turn only to the available legal framework in 
the case of contested results. Violence and calls to violence 
are punishable by law. 
 
(The CIAT is composed of the five member states of the UN 
Security Council (China, the United States, France, the 
United Kingdom, Russia), South Africa, Angola, Belgium, 
Canada, Gabon, Zambia, the African Union (Commission and 
presidency), the European Union (Commission and presidency), 
and MONUC.)
