ai generated text

Mozambique's top electoral court confirmed the ruling party Frelimo's victory in the October presidential election, with Daniel Chapo as the next president. The election was disputed, with allegations of rigging and Western observers stating it was not free and fair. The opposition has threatened to call for an uprising, sparking fears of further violence.

    1. If we have electoral truth, we will have peace … If we have electoral lies, we will make the country fall into a precipice, into chaos, into disorder. I hope they understand me.
    2. We are giving the opportunity to pray for the judges of the constitutional council, to pray for [its chair] Dr Lúcia Ribeiro, so that on Monday, from her, justice comes out, the electoral truth does not come out as a lie.
    3. It worries us that the process of choosing our leaders was transformed into a pretext to induce and exacerbate social tensions and violent acts.

    1. Dialogue is the only way to build social harmony.
    2. For our development we will continue to talk to everyone.

    1. Legally, it is the end … the Constitutional Council is the highest in the land … so this ruling cannot be appealed.

    1. A 70% majority for Frelimo was a massive surprise to everybody.

    1. I'm convinced that if Monday the Constitutional Council declares the election as free and fair, which I am 100 percent convinced it will, then the blood is going to flow.
