Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The leader of the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), Ossufo Momade, rejected yesterday the results of the October 9 general elections proclaimed by the Constitutional Council (CC), stating that he will mobilize the population to \u201csave democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not recognize the results, nor the supposed winner, much less the numbers attributed to his party. Renamo believes Mozambique deserves a legitimate government chosen by the people, not by a small group of individuals,\u201d said Ossufo Momade after the proclamation of the electoral results by the CC President, Lu\u0301cia Ribeiro.<\/p>\n

The CC proclaimed yesterday Daniel Chapo, the candidate supported by Frelimo, as the winner of the presidential election with 65.17% of the votes, succeeding Filipe Nyusi.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel Francisco Chapo is proclaimed elected President of the Republic of Mozambique,\u201d announced CC President Lu\u0301cia Ribeiro after one and a half hours of reading the proclamation ruling, during which she acknowledged irregularities in the electoral process but stated they \u201cdid not influence\u201d the final result.<\/p>\n

According to the results, Vena\u0302ncio Mondlane obtained 24.19% of the votes, Ossufo Momade 6.62%, and Lutero Simango 4.02%.<\/p>\n

In a press conference to react to the proclamation, Momade criticized the CC, stating that its ruling undermines the \u201cpopular will.\u201d He claimed to have presented \u201cevidence\u201d and conclusive proof of irregularities that compromised the electoral process.<\/p>\n

Among the evidence submitted by Renamo to the CC, Momade highlighted \u201cviolations of the Constitution of the Republic\u201d during the election, including alleged forgery of results sheets, manipulation of voter rolls, and persecution of opposition members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese elements are not mere speculations but well-known facts that were not treated with due seriousness by the CC, creating future uncertainty for our democracy, political intolerance, and social and political stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ruling represents a disrespect for the people and a setback for our democracy. Renamo cannot, under any circumstances, accept this outcome or recognize any government emerging from these elections unless it is a transitional government,\u201d Momade added.<\/p>\n

The Renamo leader called on political parties, academics, and religious institutions to join what he described as the \u201cdefense of democracy,\u201d emphasizing that the action must aim at upholding \u201celectoral truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will mobilize the people so that together we can fight to save democracy. What we want is democracy, and we will never allow it to be destroyed,\u201d concluded Ossufo Momade.<\/p>\n

While the CC\u2019s proclamation ruling was being read, protesters supporting Vena\u0302ncio Mondlane were already demonstrating in the streets, burning tires.<\/p>\n

Post-election clashes have resulted in at least 130 deaths, according to the Electoral Platform Decide, which monitors electoral processes in Mozambique. The platform also recorded 385 people shot during these events.<\/p>\n

The October 9 general elections included the seventh presidential election, in which the outgoing president, Filipe Nyusi, did not run after reaching the two-term limit. Legislative and elections for provincial assemblies and governors were held simultaneously.<\/p>\n
