Africa-Press – Mozambique. The opposition will play on a tilted playing field in Matola. The presidents, vice-presidents, secretaries and 4th scrutineers of the polling stations – all decision-making positions – come from Frelimo, according to Frelimo’s clandestine list of polling station members in Matola.
The 55-page list (except below) shows that the presidents of the polling stations are school teachers, civil servants from provincial directorates and members of Frelimo party zone committees. For example, the presiding officer of one of the EPC 24 de Julho polling stations is an official in the office of Governor Júlio Paruque, now Frelimo’s candidate for mayor in Matola. There are also many heads of departments, offices and secretariats who are subordinate to the Maputo provincial government. There are also many members of the Infulene Zone Committee, the largest and most populous administrative post in Matola, with 15 neighbourhoods.
The list includes the names of the schools where the polling stations will operate, the electoral roll numbers, the position each member will occupy, their full name, where they come from and their contact details. The names of the polling station presidents are clearly labelled.
Of the seven members of the polling station, three are named by the political parties in parliament – Frelimo, Renamo, and MDM. But the remaining four members were appointed due to party influence, as the list shows.
