Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Turnout in the south has dropped considerably, compared to this morning, with some polling stations almost empty, our correspondents report. But in the centre and north, especially in the cities of Beira and Quelimane, and some areas of Nampula province, turnout is actually increasing. Queues of up to 150 voters are estimated.<\/p>\n

In some polling stations, our correspondents report that people with valid voter cards were unable to vote because their names had disappeared from the electoral roll. The CNE ordered yesterday that these people be allowed to vote, but, as expected, the instruction is being widely ignored.<\/p>\n

The trend of preventing observers continues in some municipalities. In Cho\u0301kwe\u0300, it is reported that under orders from the district STAE supervisor, observers from the Mais Integridade consortium were prevented from observing at the A\u0301frica Amiga School. But after a long discussion, the police authorised them to work.<\/p>\n

The Mais Integridade Consortium reports that nationally 93% of polling stations opened on time at 7am. The biggest problems were in Beira (only 75% opened on time), Quelimane (82%) and Gurue (85%).<\/p>\n

Monapo Sede primary school on Wednesday morning (Nampula province)<\/p>\n

The Nova Democracia party in Gurue\u0300 neutralised alleged Frelimo members with a ballot box full of completed ballots, which led to a riot. The heavily armed police reacted violently against members of Nova Democracia to protect the alleged offenders.<\/p>\n

In Quelimane, at the Industrial School, a woman with 11 ballot papers duly filled in in favour of Frelimo was neutralised.<\/p>\n
