Mozambique Ruling Party Wins Election Amid Disputes and Violence
ai generated text
The election saw a landslide victory for Daniel Chapo, the candidate of the ruling party Frelimo, who secured more than 70% of the votes. This is according to the election commission, which reported Chapo's vote share at 70.7%. In contrast, independent candidate Venancio Mondlane came second, with a vote share of 20.3%. The election was marked by violence and controversy, including the killings of Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe.
With more than 70% of the votes, I don't see any teacher failing a student.
As the Frelimo party, we want to once again reiterate our repudiation of the murders of Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe as well as other citizens physically affected in this ongoing process of demonstrations.
We remained silent all this time, for respecting the law. We are an organised party that prepares its victories.
The time has come for the people to take power and say that we now want to change the history of this country. There won't be enough bullets for everyone, there won't be teargas for everyone, there won't be enough armoured vehicles.
Given the conduct of security forces over the past years … I have reasons to be concerned about what the security forces might do to protesters.
