Independent National Electoral Commission (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
The Independent National Electoral Commission ( or CENI) is the body that runs elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This organization was tasked with executing the country's 2016 general election. However, it delayed the election until 2018 "because the number of voters isn’t known." The country's political opposition has alleged that the country's president Joseph Kabila is trying to remain in power after his constitutionally mandated term expires. CENI's bank accounts are held at the BGFIBank Group. It held US$55 million as of May  2016. The same month, it borrowed an additional US$25 million from the BFGIBank, with $2.4 million in fees. According to "Le Monde", the 2016 presidential elections were postponed on the grounds that the CENI lacked sufficient funds to register voters. In October 2021, the president of the National Assembly gave 72 hours to the eight religious denominations to come to an agreement. They meet to try to agree on the name of the future president of the Ceni. CENI's president is Denis Kadima Kazadi.
