The Renamo party predicts that the Constitutional Council (CC) will declare Frelimo's victory in the General Elections of October 9, even though there is evidence that the vote was annulled.

According to Glória Salvador, the party's national spokesperson, the country's electoral history corroborates the legitimacy of fraudulent results, which have always benefited Frelimo. She recalled the fact that the CC handed over four municipalities to the party when, in fact, it had the right to more than 24 municipalities.

Asked if she understood the CC's intention to restore electoral truth, she said: "I would hardly give you a satisfactory answer. We've been seeing the same history since 1994."

Speaking to the journalist after a meeting with the CC's president, Lúcia Ribeiro, Salvador said that, given the irregularities recorded, the prudent thing to do would be to annul the elections.

"We have already submitted appeals to this house. There is data that proves that these elections should be annulled," he said, giving the example of the absence of party representatives in several polling stations. "The law requires the election to be annulled when there are such situations."

At the meeting with the CC, the topic was the progress of the processes that will culminate in the validation of the results.

For Renamo, the work underway at the CC should have been done at grassroots level, in the District Electoral Commissions or at the CNE.

"Unfortunately, these bodies let everything slide. It's not normal for the CC to be able to do a recount," he said.

Yesterday, the CC met with the leadership of the Podemos party.
