Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi finally congratulated William Ruto as President-elect, more than two weeks after his East African Community counterparts applauded the new Kenyan leader.
But while Tshisekedi may have been waiting for the Supreme Court to decide whether Ruto’s victory would stand, as announced on August 15, he merely issued a statement saying he would work with whoever Kenyans choose once “competent authorities” in Kenya finalise the electoral process.
