This time, more than 20 candidates are vying for the top job. The country had its first peaceful transition of power in 2019, when the current President Felix Tshisekedi took power.

But critics say he&#8217;s failed to deliver on promises to end conflict, corruption and economic inequality.<br \/>\nThe DRC is the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa. It shares borders with 9 neighbors and is key to regional stability.

The World Bank says the DRC is one of the five poorest nations in the world. Conflict and instability have plagued the DRC for decades. And there are concerns that the electoral process won\u2019t be as free and fair as it should be.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro and report<br \/>\n05:13 DW&#8217;s Isaac Mugabi provides analysis<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<br \/>\nFollow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTwitch: https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/dwnews_hangout<br \/>\nF\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>#DRC #Africa #Elections<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political campaigns are underway in the Democratic Republic of Congo ahead of December&#8217;s general elections.
