Mozambique's ruling party, FRELIMO, under Daniel Chapo, has announced a sweeping victory in the aftermath of the nation's national election which was held on October 9th.
The landslide victory was initially announced by National Election Commission (CNE) Chairperson, Anglican Bishop Carlos Matsinhe, who claimed Chapo had garnered over 70% of the national vote.
The announcement came despite the CNE not releasing any polling station data, with the opposition PODEMOS party candidate Venâncio António Bila Mondlane claiming earlier that the election victory belonged to PODEMOS.
