The meeting was attended by Heads of States of SADC member countries, ICGLR member countries, East African Community, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD, African members of the UN Security Council.
According to a post-summit communique, The Heads of State and Government attending the meeting concluded that there were serious doubts on the conformity of the provisional results, as proclaimed by the National Independent Electoral Commission, with the votes cast.

The summit also agreed to urgently dispatch to the DRC a high-level delegation comprising the Chairperson of the Union and other Heads of State and Government, as well as the Chairperson of the AU Commission to interact with all Congolese stakeholders.
