Wagombea Wanne wa nafasi ya Urais Nchini DR Congo wameamua kujitoa na kueleza kuwa wanaelekeza nguvu zao katika kumuunga mkono Gavana wa zamani, Moise Katumbi ambaye ni mgombea mkuu wa upinzani katika uchaguzi huo.
Hatua hiyo inafanya wagombe waliosalia kuwa 21 mbapo wote wanawania nafasi inayotetewa na Rais Felix Tshisekedi anayewania Awamu ya Pili. Wagombea ambao wameshajitoa ni Delly Sesanga, Matata Ponyo, Seth Kikuni na Franck Diongo.

Fourth DR Congo candidate backs ex-governor for president
A fourth candidate has dropped out of the presidential campaign in the Democratic Republic of Congo to support former governor and opposition candidate Moïse Katumbi.
With the withdrawal of Delly Sesanga - a lawyer and MP from Kasai-Central province - there are now 21 opposition candidates running for the top job.
They will be competing against the incumbent President Felix Tshisekedi, who is vying for a second term in office.
Mr Sesanga’s withdrawal is seen as boosting opposition unity after former prime minister Matata Ponyo and two other candidates, Seth Kikuni and Franck Diongo, earlier endorsed Mr Katumbi.
“I have decided in the spirit of national unity to combine our forces to support the candidacy of Moise Katumbi,” he said on Sunday, while calling for his supporters to vote for him.
There had been discussions in the South African capital Pretoria with the aim of choosing one opposition candidate to face Mr Tshisekedi, which ended on 17 November without reaching a deal.
Campaigns for the elections started two weeks ago and end on 18 December – two days before the 20 December elections.
The campaign period has already witnessed deaths, with six killed in a stampede on Saturday at Mr Tshisekedi’s campaign rally in Mbanza-Ngungu city in the west.
Earlier on Tuesday, a supporter of Mr Katumbi was killed at a rally amid clashes with supporters of the ruling party in the eastern Maniema province.
