In 52 of the 53 municipalities, the National Elections Commission (CNE) validated the intermediate result from the city or district elections commission (CDE), but Chimoio is the only city where it did not. No comment was made when results were announced last week, but the CNE appears to have accepted its own provisional count and not that of the Chimoio CEC.

The CNE found an extra 459 votes, compared to the CDE intermediate result. It found an extra 582 invalid votes, and took 120 votes away from Renamo. The full details of the three different Chimoio counts are in our comparison table, on http://bit.ly/LocEl2018.

Interestingly, the CNE was prepared to use its own provisional count of polling station results sheets in Chimoio, where the change made no difference, but not in Alto Moloucue of Monapo, where the CNE provisional count gave victory to Renamo and the CDE gave the victory to Frelimo.
