A leading opposition group in the Democratic Republic of Congo named Moise Katumbi, a former provincial governor, as its candidate for president in elections scheduled for November.
The so-called G7 announced Katumbi’s candidacy after a meeting of the party’s political bureau in the capital, Kinshasa, on Wednesday. Katumbi wasn’t immediately available when Bloomberg called him seeking comment.
