The leader of the opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Felix Tshisekedi, has returned home. He arrived in Kinshasa on Tuesday to launch his campaign to replace President Joseph Kabila in the December elections.

Thousands of supporters of his party, the main opposition party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) and his running mate Vital for the Union of the Congolese Nation Vital Kamerhe (A C), were on hand to greet them upon their arrival.

Both Tshisekedi and Kamerhe had signed a coalition agreement last week, breaking with what was previously a consensus choice of Martin Fayulu as the flagship of the opposition in the upcoming polls.
