BBC World Service - Weekend, DRC Election: Uncertainty Over Results Announcement

Provisional results for the presidential election in the DRC were due today

Provisional results for the presidential election in the DRC were due today.

Provisional results for last Sunday's presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo were due to be announced later today, but indications are that that's not going to happen. What is this uncertainty doing to the credibility of the vote?

Also in the programme: Egypt appears to have failed in its attempts to block the broadcast of an interview by American television network CBS with the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
