KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - Congo's electoral commission said Sunday that national elections — the first in 40 years for the violence-plagued central African nation — will take place July 30, about a month later than planned.
The vote was originally planned for the summer of 2005 but has been repeatedly delayed for logistical reasons and was most recently scheduled for late June.
Appolinaire Malumalu, president of the election commission, said the date was pushed back to give official more time to compile a list of candidates.
