Frelimo nominated members to STAE and the district elections commission (CDE) broke into the STAE warehouse in Moatize, opened sealed plastic bags of votes and documents, and changed the results to a Frelimo win, accused Renamo national party agent Andre Magibire.

According to Magibire, on Thursday 11 October, the day after voting, STAE did the Moatize count, which gave the win to Renamo, with 11,169 votes compared to 9,856 for Frelimo. The formal report (“acta”) was prepared to be signed the next day, but then on Friday Frelimo CDE members refused to sign it. Then late on Saturday night, Frelimo STAE and CDE members broke to the warehouse and wrote a new official report which gave Frelimo 9,839 votes and Renamo 9,742.

He says Renamo has its official copies of the results sheets of the 49 polling stations, and will challenge this result in the National Elections Commission and appeal to the Constitutional Council if necessary.
