description This paper analyzes the presidential and legislative elections of November 2011 in the Congo Democratic Republic. Observers report they were calamitous but believe, however, they do not call into question the outcome of the presidential election. Given this situation, the issue is whether we are in the presence of technical deficiencies in the organization of elections, or a deliberate distortion of the result. Datas published by the Independent National Commission, compared to the 2006 presidential election, and their mapping provide some assessment of the electoral context in the DRC, political opposition and ethno-regional cleavages. This raises the question of the link between elections and democracy in African societies in search of specific modes of exercising power.
