The elections were won by parties affiliated with the Congolese National Convention . They were led by Moïse Tschombé and together they won 80 seats. After the elections, the results were questioned by various parties. The Léopoldville Court of Appeal accepted six of them, leading to new elections in Kivu Central , Goma - Rutshuru , Cuvette Centrale , Fizi , Kwilu and Maniema , which were held between August 8 and 22, 1965.
