Mozambique: Judges Validate Election Result, Opposition Calls For "Uprising" | Firstpost Africa

Mozambique is bracing for more chaos as the country's constitutional council has validated the October election result that triggered a wave of deadly protests. The constitutional council has announced that it upholds the victory of the ruling Frelimo party's candidate Daniel Chapo. Chapo will take over from President Filipe Nysui whose second term ends on January 15. This validates the disputed results of the October 9 elections declared by the country's election commission. As per the initial results, Daniel Chapo secured around 71 percent of the votes and the main opposition candidate Venancio Mondalne stood second with 20 percent. However, Mondalne claims a separate count that shows he won 53 percent to 36 percent for Chapo. The former radio presenter has been mobilising nationwide protests on social media. Mozambique has been witnessing a severe post-poll violence. At least 130 people have been confirmed dead in the violence. Watch for more.
