Mozambique’s opposition candidate protests poll results
The final results from Mozambique’s October 9 parliamentary and presidential elections are expected October 24. However, results from nine provinces released on Wednesday showed the ruling Frelimo party candidate Daniel Chapo ahead with 53 percent and independent candidate Venacio Mondlane a distant second. But on Wednesday, Mondlane led a march in the northern city of Nampula to denounce the results. Borges Nhamirre, an election observer from the Institute for Security Studies, a Pan-African think tank headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, tells VOA’s James Butty, there were reports of gunfire at the Nampula rally leading to heightened tension in the country
