The National
Electoral
Commission
declared
Frelimo’s
Daniel
Chapo
the
winner,
sparking disputes
and
political unrest.
The
opposition
party
PODEMOS,
led
by
Venacio
Mondlane,
is
accusing
Frelimo
of
electoral fraud.
Speaking
with
South
African
State
broadcaster
Southern
Africa
Human Rights
Lawyers
High
Commissioner,
Talent
Rusere
fingered
President
Mnangagwa
and
Zanu
PF
in
the
chaos
ensuing
in
Mozambique.
“We
have
launched
an
investigation
to
find
out
what
exactly
conspired
in
Mozambique
which
is
something
that
also
led
us
to
understand
that
there
has
been
interference
by
the
Zimbabwean
President
and
the
ruling
party
which
has
been
sending
people
to
vote
from
the
Zimbabwean
side
during
the
Mozambican
elections,”
said
Rusere.
Over
50
people,
including
several
prominent
figures,
have
been
killed
in
the
post-vote
unrest.
Videos
circulating
online
show
Zimbabwean
nationals
voting
in
the
Mozambican
elections
which
Rusere
believes
may
have
influenced
the election
outcome.
Added
Rusere,
“Well
it
is
not
the
first
time
that
the
Zimbabwean
President
and
ruling
party
is
trying
to
interfere
with
the
neighbouring
elections
and
that
is
not
a
secret.
We
have
some
videos
where
Zimbabweans
were
given
voter
IDs
to
vote
for
Frelimo
and
testified
in
those
videos
that
they
had
voted
for
Frelimo.”
