Frelimo, Renamo and the MDM, among other political parties, have yet to submit applications for accreditation of the 8,628 candidate delegates to accompany the voting process on October 9, reveals Bernardino Macome, president of the CPE in Gaza.

To date, none of the three parties (Frelimo, Renamo and MDM) have submitted the request for accreditation of their respective delegates. According to the electoral law, the lists of candidate delegates must be submitted by the 20th day before the election.

Macome urges the political parties to apply as soon as possible for accreditation of their candidate delegates for the polling stations in order to avoid "scrambling" at the last minute, which could make it impossible to issue 8,628 credentials in a short space of time.

Macome reminds us that anyone who hasn't submitted an application for accreditation by 19/09/2024 "will be deemed to have abdicated" from doing so. (Electoral Bulletin, CIP)
