Maputo, MOZAMBIQUE
The
Constitutional Council (CC) of Mozambique validated on Monday that the ruling
party Frelimo and its candidate Filipe Nyusi won with an overwhelming majority
in October’s general elections.
Frelimo won 70 percent of the vote and Nyusi
was re-elected with 73 percent of the vote, the CC said in a statement.
The election results were previously rejected
by opposition parties Renamo and the Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM),
which alleged widespread fraud and irregularities.
In its announcement, the CC said the
irregularities found during the electoral process “did not substantially affect
the results of the general and provincial elections on October 15.” -
