Mozambique's highest court on Monday upheld the governing party's win in the October presidential election following weeks of opposition protests in which more than 100 people have died.
The court, called the Constitutional Council, said irregularities in the election “did not substantially influence the results” and that Daniel Chapo with the governing party, Frelimo, won with 65.17% of the vote, while opposition politician Venâncio Mondlane had 24.29%. The court revised the initial results that said Chapo received 70%.
