Anto\u0301nio Muchanga said that the partial count carried out by his party gave Renamo in Matola 55% of the vote with Frelimo in second place, with 33% of votes, and MDM in third place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to believe that these results will never change, because we won in almost all schools,\u201d Muchanga said.<\/p>\n

The leader of the Democratic Movement of Mozambique recognizes that he has not got far and acknowledges defeat. \u201cWe want to congratulate Renamo on winning the elections and we hope that they will solve the problems of the citizens,\u201d Augusto Pelembe said.<\/p>\n

Both MDM and Renamo have spoken about illegalities at some polling stations in Matola.<\/p>\n

The district elections commissions have 48 hours to announce the results of the ballot, which will then be verified and validated by the provincial elections commissions and then by the National Elections Commission (CNE).<\/p>\n
