In the Democratic Republic of Congo, campaigning for Monday's elections is drawing to a close.
One of the 65 candidates is Ntabo Ntaberi Sheka, who has been formally charged with the mass rape of 387 people.
Sheka is running for one of the two seats available for the Walikale district in the North Kivu province, in the country's politically volatile eastern region.
He held his only rally in Walikale on Thursday.
In this Al Jazeera exclusive, Sheka spoke to Al Jazeera's Peter Greste in Walikale.
