DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO SENATE ELECTION, 2007

'Elections to the Senate of the Democratic Republic of the Congo' were held on 2007-01-19, though they had originally been scheduled for 2007-01-16.^[1] The members of the Senate were chosen through indirect election by the members of the provincial assemblies; the delay was a result of the difficulties in choosing traditional chiefs to fill the places reserved for them in the provincial assemblies.^[2]
