Congo MPs want court ruling on Kabila's future if polls not held

Supporters of Congo President Joseph Kabila want the country's highest court to rule on whether he would stay in power if his government fails to hold election due in November, a senior ally said on Thursday. Kabila, in power since 2001, is required by the constitution to step down when his second elected term ends later this year. The uncertainty over the polls has sparked debate over what the constitution prescribes is not held on time.
