This morning, the Renamo party denounced attempts by Frelimo to alter the results of the polls in the city of Nampula.

"Despite the fraud perpetrated by Frelimo, we won in all eight municipalities. There were several ballot papers found with a delegate. Celso Correia was in the sports hall with police at the tables and intimidated the table members. He wanted to cheat the will of the citizens. Journalists were expelled and the doors were closed so that no one else could enter," Abiba Aba, Renamo's provincial delegate in Nampula, told a press conference.

During the press conference, Renamo presented some ballot papers that were allegedly tried to be introduced into the ballot boxes.

According to the source, the process that took place in the city of Nampula and the other seven municipalities in the province was not a vote but "a war".

"We want to call on Frelimo to recognize the results. The city of Nampula will not take Mr. Celso Correia. Accept that you've lost and go back to Maputo where you shouldn't have come from. If your aim is to take Renamo to war, we don't want it. But we're not afraid of war," said the same source.

Renamo has also indicated that it is winning with 49% of the votes against Frelimo's 40 %.
