In the town of Insaca, in the district of Mecanhelas, the night was marked by shootings and the removal of ballot boxes to an uncertain location for the continuation of the tabulation of election results. The shooting started at around 11.30pm when the tabulation was underway.
The police had to load the ballot boxes and polling station staff into a Mahindra vehicle, leaving the political delegates on the ground.
In Vanduzi, Sofala, a police officer shot a young man in the foot, allegedly because he was carrying out vandalism. The young man belongs to Podemos. In response, the population neutralised the policeman and beat him up as he tried to disperse the people near the polling stations. Both the young man and the policeman have been hospitalised.
