The African Union called on Wednesday for all candidates in Democratic Republic of Congo's elections to accept the outcome of the vote, saying the polls were well managed despite technical problems and some violent incidents.
"We call on all political actors to show their responsibility by accepting the results," said a joint statement by the AU, the Southern African SADC grouping and other regional bodies which was read out to reporters in Kinshasa.
On Tuesday four candidates called for Monday's vote to be annulled, alleging widespread fraud. Preliminary results are due on 6 December.
