An opposition party in the Democratic Republic of Congo has endorsed former Vice President Jean Pierre Bemba as their presidential candidate, despite the fact that he may not even be eligible to run.
Bemba's 18-year sentence for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court was recently overturned by appeal judges.
His participation in the election as the Movement for the Liberation of Congo's candidate hinges on another case of witness tampering that is yet to be determined by the court.
