Tug of war continues:

Constitutional Council asks the Supreme Court to send it Venâncio Mondlane’s cases

In its notice of this Tuesday, 22 October, the Constitutional Council sent a letter to the Supreme Court asking it to instruct all the provincial and district courts to remit to the Council all the election dispute appeals requested by Venancio Mondlane and analysed and judged by those same courts.

The Constitutional Council justifies this request with the need to analyse, as the court of final instance, the appeals and claims, and then validate and proclaim the results of the general elections

The Council also asks the Supreme Court to notify it in the event that there are no cases in the provincial and district courts.

If the Constitutional Council is resorting to the Supreme Court, this means that the courts have not sent it the cases. This is a signal that the conflict between the Council and the courts is far from over.
