Mozambique’s Constitutional Council has confirmed the ruling party Frelimo’s victory in the October election, despite allegations of rigging by opposition groups. Frelimo has governed the country since 1975, and the recent election results have sparked massive protests.
Western observers have criticized the election, stating it was not free and fair. The post-election period has seen unprecedented protests against Frelimo, resulting in clashes with police and at least 130 reported deaths.
