The results released by the National Elections Commission (CNE) give victory to Frelimo in 64 of the 65 municipalities in the country. Momade reaffirmed, once again, that Renamo no longer wants to return to war and, therefore, the peaceful marches will continue until “the electoral truth is restored”. “We, Mozambicans, want peace. We want a democracy whose foundation is respect for human rights and the realization of free, fair and transparent elections”, he stressed in protest against the results. Renamo promoted, on Friday (28), a series of demonstrations in some municipalities, leading to some clashes between protesters and the Police, who had to intervene to contain acts of vandalization and looting in commercial establishments. On Sunday morning, the president of Renamo, Ossufo Momade, called a press conference to share the party’s opinion regarding the latest events that followed the announcement of the electoral results. On the occasion, Momade criticized the police’s actions, stressing that it “represents a authentic annihilation of democracy and the principles that should guide the actions of a republican, non-partisan and professional police force.” According to the President of Renamo, the record of such deaths and injuries occurred in the municipalities of the city of Nampula and Nacala Porto (north) , Quelimane (central zone) and in the city of Maputo, the Mozambican capital. “In this communication, we want to express our feelings of regret for the death and injuries of our fellow citizens and we address our deepest condolences to the bereaved families”, he said. , equally, what it considered to be political persecution and the reappearance of an alleged death squad, in addition to arbitrary arrests and searches in the buildings of Renamo political delegations. The party also regrets the silence of State institutions such as the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic (PGR) and, above all, of the Mozambican Head of State, Filipe Nyusi, a silence that, in his opinion, “represents complicity and confirmation of express orders to distort the results of October 11th”.
