"The time has come to put away the guns," said Rawlings, part of a delegation of election observers from the African Forum, an informal group of former leaders that advises the African Union.
Early results show that incumbent Kabila has taken a lead over rival Bemba, according to early figures from the October 29 run-off election.
The full results are not expected until November 19. The winner will be announced no later than November 30. - Sapa-AFP
