The Democratic Republic of Congo has approved a new constitution which paves the way for historic presidential and parliamentary elections in March.
According to official results from the 18 December referendum, released on Wednesday, 84.31% voted in favour of the constitution to 15.69% against.
The new charter allows greater autonomy for some of the huge country's mineral-rich regions.
DR Congo's people voted for the constitution in December.
