<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 4598640, member: 111237&quot;]While I won&#039;t argue the point, I wouldn&#039;t say this. While the Mouvement National Congolais-Lumumba got 23 percent of the vote which was a plurality the election was highly contentious drawn down tribal and regional loyalties. It was marked by riots, civil unrest and clashes between partisans from at least 6 major parties all getting over 250-100 thousand votes and then a long list of minor parties garnering the votes from their areas. The amounts of votes candidates got was often dictated by the population of the region they were from. The election result do not show a country unified. In my opinion it shows that Congo was then as they remain, highly fractured by regionalism and tribalism.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
