REF: KINSHASA 1675 (AND PREVIOUS) 
 
1. (U) Summary: The DRC's October 29 presidential run-off and 
provincial assembly elections generally passed smoothly and 
peacefully, with only a few logistical problems and isolated 
incidents of violence reported. Officials with the major 
political parties have expressed their overall satisfaction 
with the course of voting operations. Anecdotal accounts 
indicate voter turnout was slightly lower than in the July 30 
elections, except in the Kasais. The Independent Electoral 
Commission (CEI) is now collecting ballots and tally sheets 
from the country's 50,045 voting sites and delivering them to 
62 compilation centers nationwide. End summary. 
 
2. (U) Kinshasa remains calm the morning after the October 29 
vote. Traffic is moving normally, businesses are open, and 
MONUC and EUFOR continue to patrol and maintain a very 
visible presence. 
 
3. (SBU) One serious incident was reported overnight in Ituri 
District in the area of Fataki, approximately 30 miles 
northeast of Bunia. CEI and MONUC officials said two 
Commission workers who had been working the polls October 29 
were shot and killed by members of the Congolese military 
early the morning of October 30 while heading home. The 
incident does not appear to have been politically motivated, 
however. Shortly afterwards, members of the victims' families 
reportedly attacked nine voting centers in the city. CEI 
officials said 43 voting stations were destroyed along with 
all their materials, including ballots. Eight CEI workers 
were apparently injured. The CEI has sent a delegation from 
Bunia to Fataki to assess the situation and to make a 
recommendation as to possibly re-opening voting operations. 
 
4. (SBU) Representatives of both President Kabila and Vice 
President Bemba told us they were generally pleased with the 
way voting took place. Officials with Kabila's Alliance for 
the Presidential Majority (AMP) told us they are confident 
Kabila will win, albeit by a slim margin. A senior Bemba 
adviser was equally confident Bemba will win, adding that his 
party's observers are "angry" with attempts by AMP partisans 
to cheat. The adviser provided no proof of his allegations of 
cheating, however. Both camps said they believed turnout was 
lower than in the first round, especially in some of the 
eastern provinces, but that turnout in the Kasais was higher 
than anticipated. 
 
5. (U) CEI President Abbe Apollinaire Malu Malu said in an 
interview with Radio Okapi the evening of October 29 that 
voting operations went smoothly throughout most of the 
country. He noted that according to the Commission's 
electoral calendar, provisional presidential results will be 
announced no later than November 19. CEI spokesman Dieudonne 
Mirimo told us the Commission considers the second-round 
elections to have been a "success," despite some incidents 
that took place in Equateur province (reftels). Malu Malu 
said in some locations, the wrong provincial ballots had been 
delivered to voting stations, but local solutions were 
quickly found to remedy such problems. 
 
6. (U) Malu Malu said the CEI will open an inquiry into the 
events in Bumba in Equateur province that resulted in the 
closure of a dozen voting centers. The CEI is sending a 
delegation to Bumba October 30 to assess the situation and 
assist in re-opening on October 31 the polling sites that 
were affected. 
 
7. (U) The European Commission issued a communique October 29 
congratulating the Congolese people for their participation 
in the election. EU Development Commissioner Louis Michel 
said the vote demonstrated the maturity of the Congolese 
people and represented a real opportunity for the country to 
restart development, restore democratic governance, and 
reestablish peace. He urged the people and political actors 
to respect voting results and to maintain a climate of 
tolerance and peace. 
 
8. (U) The electoral process now moves into the complicated 
phase of collecting and compiling ballots. Materials from the 
DRC's 50,045 voting sites will be transported beginning 
October 30 to 62 compilation centers throughout the country 
where CEI officials will tabulate and publish results for 
each of the country's 189 electoral districts. (Note: After 
the July 30 elections, the collection and compilation phase 
was poorly executed, resulting in significant delays in 
reporting results as CEI staff sifted through disorganized 
 
KINSHASA 00001677  002 OF 002 
 
 
piles of tally sheets, ballots and other paperwork. End 
note.) Mirimo said initial reports from throughout the 
country indicate collection is proceeding as scheduled and on 
time. 
 
9. (U) The CEI has since July refined its collection plan for 
Kinshasa and other urban centers. Beginning October 30, 
material will be collected at each polling site and delivered 
to one of 14 collection points in the capital. From these 
points, ballots and tally sheets are to be transported to one 
central center where material will be sorted and organized 
according to electoral district. Polling center chiefs will 
also be required to verify they have ensured the delivery of 
all documents. The last step in the collection process is to 
send the collated materials to a main compilation center. At 
this point, CEI workers will verify result sheets and 
subsequently post results once all voting stations in an 
electoral district have been accounted for. The CEI has said 
the entire collection process should take approximately three 
days to complete. Post will report on the collection and 
compilation process septel.
