Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The CNE approved, early on Thursday morning (21 December) the results in the four municipalities where the elections were repeated \u2013 Marromeu, Milange, Gurue\u0300 and Nacala Porto \u2013 but gave no details of what was being approved. Renamo again voted against, arguing that the elections were marred by even more irregularities.<\/p>\n

This time, all the Frelimo representatives present at the meeting voted in favour. This included CNE head Bishop Carlos Matsinhe and Saloma\u0303o Moyana, who had chosen to abstain in the vote held in the early morning of 26 October, on the results of the 65 municipalities.<\/p>\n

In their declaration justifying their dissenting votes, the Renamo representatives on the CNE said they voted against approving the results because they did not agree \u201cwith the procedures in the entire voting process and all phases of the count\u201d, particularly in the municipalities of Marromeu and Gurue\u0300.<\/p>\n

In the repeat elections in Marromeu and Gurue\u0300 there were \u201cvarious irregularities and crimes which greatly exceeded those that marked the elections of 11 October\u201d they said. Renamo continues that the district and provincial electoral bodies drew up a strategy that resulted in altering the results on the original editais(results sheets), \u201cproducing other, fake editais with numbers erased\u201d.<\/p>\n

In Gurue<\/b><\/p>\n

Other irregularities denounced by the opposition concern the police ban on CNE members supervising the elections.<\/p>\n

In Marromeu<\/b> Renamo CNE members says:<\/p>\n

In the same dissenting opinion, the opposition representatives on the CNE accused that body of being mainly responsible for the irregularities and crimes that occurred during the repeat elections.<\/p>\n

They said members of the electoral bodies at central level who were supervising the elections in those municipalities should have intervened promptly to correct the problems and calm public opinion. But the inertia and apathy which characterize the CNE \u201cgreatly reduced the trust, transparency and justice\u201d of an electoral process that was \u201cwell organized up to the voting\u201d, but was altered \u201cin the period of the partial count\u201d.<\/p>\n

Renamo\u2019s dissenting opinion continues:<\/p>\n
