The Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) in Gaza announced yesterday, Monday (02), that two citizens were arrested for destroying electoral propaganda material.

Without mentioning the names of those indicted or which party they belong to, the PRM's spokesman, Julio Nhamussua, explained that the case took place last week in the district of Chigubo, in the north of Gaza province.

"The case has been referred to the courts for the appropriate action," said the spokesman, quoted by the newspaper Domingo.

This is the first reported case in Gaza of vandalization of campaign material for the October 9 elections.

The electoral campaign for the general elections on October 9 kicked off on August 24 across the country, with four candidates for the Presidency of the Republic and 37 political forces competing in the legislative and provincial elections.

According to data from the National Electoral Commission (CNE), more than 17 million voters are registered to vote, including 333,839 registered abroad.
