Podemos, Renamo and Pahumo appealed to the Constitutional Council (CC) to return parts of the tabulation to the National Elections Commission (CNE) because it had failed to take into account evidence of fraud. Instead the CC said it would include the information in its own consideration of the results.

Podemos regards the ruling as unjust and illegal and says “it should be deemed null and void”. Podemos had requested the annulment of the decision and that (1) the CNE should be ordered to repeat the general count, (2) the election should be annulled in the districts where the Podemos monitors were prevented from inspecting the count, (3) the elections should be annulled in the districts where there are numerical discrepancies, (4) the CDEs should be officially requested to provide the minutes of the intermediate count, to check whether or not the Podemos monitors were invited (5) request from the CNE the minutes and editais used for the general count (…) to confront them with the minutes and editais of Podemos. The Constitutional Council issued a ruling which remits the final decision on these points to the phase of validating the election results.
