28/10/2024 (Agence Europe) – In a statement published on Friday 25 October, the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) in Mozambique, which mobilised 179 observers on the day of the presidential election, called on the electoral bodies to ensure maximum transparency despite the publication of the results. Last Thursday, the National Electoral Commission (CNE) declared the presidential candidate of the ruling Frelimo party, Daniel Chapo, the winner with over 70% of the vote. “The results announcement by the CNE has not dispelled the EU EOM’s concerns regarding the transparency of the counting and tabulation process”, stated the EU EOM, which reiterated its request for the publication of the results broken down by polling station, and called on the Constitutional Council to examine the challenges brought forward by the various parties in an appropriate manner.
