Protests continued yesterday in the capital, Kinshasa, following Monday’s fatal clashes between opposition supporters and security forces.
Protesters say government plans for a census are a ploy to delay elections.
Mr Kabila is constitutionally barred from contesting the poll.
The government admits the poll could be delayed, but says the census is vital to ensure free and fair elections.
The BBC’s Maud Julien reports from Kinshasa that most shops are closed and internet and telephone connections have been blocked.
