Mozambique’s Supreme Court has confirmed the controversial election victory of the ruling party Frelimo, with its presidential candidate Daniel Chapo receiving 65% of the votes. Despite violent protests and allegations of irregularities by opposition and international observers, the court’s ruling reaffirms Frelimo’s dominance after nearly 50 years in power. Opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane, who fled the country following the elections, claimed his support was higher and called for protests against what he labeled a ‘manipulated’ electoral process. The situation remains tense with continued demonstrations in the capital, Maputo.
