Renamo protest: Irregularities do not account for 10% difference
(13/2/2009) |
|
Renamo has issued a protest against the results in Nacala and says it will not recognise the result. The protest contains five points, three of which do not seem to be supported. On two points, Renamo complaints are supported, but do not involve enough votes to account for the large difference between the two candidates, and thus are not enough to overturn the election. Details of the protest and our analysis are in the document below:

Invalidating votes for Renamo
(12/2/2009) |
|
Five of the 41 Nacala polling stations checked by the Bulletin showed very high numbers of invalid votes, which may indicate fraud. In two polling stations in Matalane there have been explicit accusations of polling station staff illegally invalidating votes for the Renamo candidate Manuel dos Santos. MORE details in Bulletin 28.

Government threatens to cut investment if Frelimo loses
(11/2/2009) |
“If Ossufo Chale does not win, these investments be taken away, so your children will remain unemployed,” warned Aiuba Cuerreneia, Minister of Planning and Development, at a meeting just before the start of the campaign rally. Similarly, Frelimo candidate Ossufo Chalé is claiming the $47 million for Nacala from the United States Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) as support for Frelimo.
