Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The National Elections Commission (CNE) of Mozambique today announced the victory of Frelimo, the party in power, in 64 of the country\u2019s 65 municipalities, while MDM, the third largest party, won only in Beira.<\/p>\n

The president of the CNE, Bishop Carlos Matsinhe, who read the minutes of the results, stated that eight members of the body voted in favor of the general count, five against and two abstained.<\/p>\n

Matsinhe said that \u201cthe centralization and counting\u201d of the results of the October 11 local elections \u201csparked lively debates in the CNE\u201d, with there being \u201cdifferences of opinion\u201d about \u201cirregularities and illicit acts\u201d reported throughout the process.<\/p>\n

The results announced by the CNE maintain the trend of intermediate counting of local elections by the provincial electoral bodies, which had already indicated the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) as the winner in all local authorities, with the exception of one \u2014 Beira \u2013, which won by the Mozambique Democratic Movement (MDM), the third largest party.<\/p>\n

According to Mozambican electoral legislation, the results of the vote will still have to be validated and published by the Constitutional Council (CC), the country\u2019s highest judicial electoral body.<\/p>\n

Opposition parties, especially the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), the main opposition party, have been promoting, all over the country, marches contesting the results of the October 11 elections, bringing together thousands of people who denounce an alleged \u201cmega fraud \u201d in the ballot.<\/p>\n

In Maputo, district courts annulled the vote at some polling stations, alleging several irregularities, notably the falsification of editais .<\/p>\n

Of the 65 municipalities, at least two had already annulled, by court decision, the vote in those municipalities due to alleged irregularities, namely Cuamba, in the province of Niassa, and Chokwe\u0301, in the province of Gaza, a decision classified as historic in Mozambican elections.<\/p>\n

The Constitutional Council, which is responsible for validating elections in Mozambique, began on Tuesday to decide on the processes, having already annulled the decision to invalidate the vote in Chokwe\u0301, which had been taken by a district court.<\/p>\n

The sixth municipal elections in Mozambique took place in 65 municipalities across the country, including 12 new municipalities, which went to vote for the first time.<\/p>\n
