DR Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi has submitted his candidacy for a second term in office, joining a crowded list of presidential hopefuls including opposition heavyweights and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. The central African nation is set to hold parliamentary and presidential votes on December 20. Tshisekedi, who came to power in 2018, is seen as having a strong chance of winning again due to a fractured opposition. However, several opposition figures, including Moise Katumbi and Martin Fayulu, have thrown their hats in the ring. Nobel laureate Denis Mukwege has also announced his candidacy, complicating matters further.
