Mozambique Ruling Party Leads in Poll
By Shamsydeen Badmus
President Armando Guebuza looks likely to be re-elected in Mozambique in a landslide with initial results from yesterday’s poll indicating he has won in 10 of 11 provinces. Guebuza’s party, the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, or Frelimo, was also leading the parliamentary vote with more than 70 per cent of the ballots counted. An electoral observer mission from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) released a preliminary report today saying the elections were free and fair. However, observers from the European Union and Commonwealth called for greater transparency. EU and Commonwealth observers also expressed concerns over an alleged threat by opposition candidate Afonso Dhlakama, who, according to a state-owned news agency, has vowed to take the government by force.
