Senate elections were scheduled for the 13th June 2012 completing the current round of Presidential and parliamentary elections, but the 2012 senate elections have not taken place.

It can be said that there has been an information ‘blackout’ with regards to the senate elections, with there being very limited information on whether the elections have taken place or if they have been cancelled.

At the date of writing this update - June 2012 The National Independent Electoral Commission website has featured no mention of the Senate elections having taken place or having been cancelled. http://www.ceni.gouv.cd/
