1. (SBU) With 100 percent of electoral districts reporting as

Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) show President Joseph
Kabila with 58.07 percent of the vote versus Vice President
Jean-Pierre Bemba's 41.93 percent. CEI spokesman Dieudonne

"deliberations" before it makes an official announcement of
