Félix Tshisekedi has won a crucial court ruling that clears the way for his bid for a third term as Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President.

The Constitutional Court of DRC upheld a challenge to a law that had been passed earlier this year, which would have limited the president to two terms in office.

The court’s decision has been welcomed by Tshisekedi’s supporters, who see it as a major boost to his campaign.
